Knuckledy Crunch And Slippledee-Slee Song - John Martyn

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
