Wash Your Face In Orange Juice, originally known as Mr Clicketty Cane is a silly and fun song for children to sing! It's a favourite amongst children as they repeat silly and humorous verses during the song. 

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, 
Merry merry king of the bush is he. 
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, 
Gay your life must be! 

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, 
Eating all the gum drops he can see. 
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra 
Save some there for me! 

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, 
Counting all the monkeys he can see. 
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra 
That's not a monkey, that's me! 

Alternative Lyrics:

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire,
Jumping up and down, with his pants on fire.
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch! Kookaburra,
Hot your tail must be!

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail,
Gets a boo-boo in his tail.
Cry, Kookaburra, cry, Kookaburra,
Oh how life can be!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Gay your life must be!

Hints and Tips:

• Search for the rhyming words in each verse.

Old Mother Hubbard 
Went to the cupboard, 
To give the poor dog a bone; 
When she came there, 
The cupboard was bare, 
And so the poor dog had none. 

She went to the baker's 
To buy him some bread; 
When she came back 
The dog was dead! 

She went to the undertaker's
To buy him a coffin;
When she came back
The dog was laughing.

She took a clean dish
to get him some tripe;
When she came back
He was smoking his pipe.

She went to the alehouse
To get him some beer;
When she came back
The dog sat in a chair.

She went to the tavern
For white wine and red;
When she came back
The dog stood on his head.

She went to the fruiterer's
To buy him some fruit;
When she came back
He was playing the flute.

She went to the tailor's
To buy him a coat;
When she came back
He was riding a goat.

She went to the hatter's
To buy him a hat;
When she came back
He was feeding her cat.

She went to the barber's
To buy him a wig
When she came back
He was dancing a jig.

She went to the cobbler's
To buy him some shoes;
When she came back
He was reading the news.

She went to the sempstress
To buy him some linen;
When she came back
The dog was spinning.

She went to the hosier's
To buy him some hose;
When she came back
He was dressed in his clothes.

The Dame made a curtsy,
The dog made a bow;
The Dame said, Your servant;
The dog said, Bow-wow.

This wonderful dog
Was Dame Hubbard's delight,
He could read, he could dance,
He could sing, he could write;

She gave him rich dainties
Whenever he fed,
And erected this monument
When he was dead.

Alternative Lyrics:

Old Dame trot,
Some cold fish had got,
Which for pussy,
She kept in Store,

When she looked there was none
The cold fish had gone,
For puss had been there before.

And he wouldn't get up in the morning.

Have You any SPOTS?

Kissed the girls and made them cry,

When the boys came out to play

Georgie Porgie ran away

Ding, dong, bell, 
Pussy’s in the well. 

Who put her in? 
Little Johnny Flynn. 

Who pulled her out? 
Little Tommy Stout. 

What a naughty boy was that, 
To try to drown poor pussy cat, 

Who never did him any harm, 
But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn 

Alternative Lyrics:

Ding dong bell,
Pussy's at the well.

Who took her there?
Little Johnny Hare.

Who'll bring her in?
Little Tommy Thin.

What a jolly boy was that
To get some milk for pussy cat,

Who ne'er did any harm,
But played with the mice in his father's barn.
