lived on a houseboat when i was young
very young
oh so young
every tuesday
i would feed all the swans
in the sun
oh such fun
then one day a man was seen
chugging along on his river machine
it was a boat
ah ha
hee
hee
hee
knuckledy crunch and slippledee-slee
all i like is to cart along
and to pick a match
and to sing my song
drank up my milk and gobbled the roll
and a bun
current bun
counted all the kittens that lived down the hall
every one
didn't miss one
jumped up on the deck
looked over the side
nearly fell in because my eyes
were so wide
so wide
ah ha
hee
hee
hee
knuckledy crunch and slippledee-slee
all i like is to cart along
and to pick a match and to sing my song
looks like uncle harold comes to visit me
visit me
visit me
wish me a happy birthday
because tomorrow i'm three
i'll be three
look at me
goes into his pocket that looks so big
pulls out a puppet with the big blonde wig
big wig
ah ha
hee
hee
hee
knuckledy crunch and slippledee-slee
all i like is to cart along
and to pick a match and to sing my song
ah ha
hee
hee
hee
knuckledy crunch and slippledee-slee
all i like is to cart along
and to pick a match and to sing my song
