2. MAMA'S SOUP SURPRISE (Tune: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) Chorus: Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes, Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs, Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies, Stir them all together .... it’s Mama’s Soup Surprise!

3. Oh, when I was a little kid I never liked to eat, Mama’d put things on my plate, I’d dump them on her feet, But then one day she made this soup, I ate it all in bed. I asked her what she put in it, and this is what she said. Chorus Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes, Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs, Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies, Stir them all together .... it’s Mama’s Soup Surprise!

4. I went into the bathroom and stood beside the sink, I said I’m feeling slightly ill, I think I’d like a drink, Mama said “I’ve just the thing, I’ll get it in a wink, It’s full of lots of protein, and vitamins I think.” Chorus Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes, Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs, Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies, Stir them all together .... it’s Mama’s Soup Surprise!

19. B.P.'s SONG (chorus) He collected kids from the corner of the streets, playing ball with bats He collected kids from the upper class, young aristocrats And he taught them how he could, to live in brotherhood Wearing baggy shorts and funny cowboy hats.

20. Verse One day in Mafeking, a man besieged by Boers thought of a plan To help his nation's youth lead better lives. I'll teach them how to camp and trek, and all the parts of the Union Jack And how to whittle wood with big sheath knives.
