Miss Muff (clap clap clap)
Miss Muff (clap clap clap)
Miss Muff in California,
Sitting on the bench,
learning French,
watching the clock go,
Tick Tock, (put hands together and move them side to side)
Tick Tock, (put hands together and move them side to side)
Curly Wurly, (hand spin)
Tick Tock,
Tick Tock,
Curly Wurly!
The girls in spain washing knickers in champagne, (look like your scrubbing)
And the boys in France do the hula hula dance, (hula dance)
And the dance they do is enough to tie a shoe, (point to shoe)
And the shoe they tie is enough to tell a lie, (look like you're telling someone off)
And the lie they tell is enough to ring a bell, (look like you're ringing a bell)
And the bell they ring goes "Ding-A-Ling- A-Ling!"


I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance. - Stephen Fry

"Little Joe never once gave it away
everybody had to pay and pay
a hustle here, a hustle there
and..."

That was called 'Walk on The Wild Side' and we learned it in nursery school.

Really? Wow.
