'Since he is anxious to be munched,
won't you join us for lunch?'
Bill Barnacle
'Delighted! A very pleasant affair
Partaking of pud' in the open air.'
Bunyip Bluegum
'It's a cut-an'-come again Puddin'.'
Sam Sawnoff
'O, who would be a puddin'
A puddin' in a pot,
A puddin' which is stood on
A fire which is hot?
O sad indeed the lot
Of a puddin' in a pot.'
from The Puddin's Lament by Puddin', also know as Albert
'Hurrah for puddin'-owning,
Hurrah for Friendship's hand,
The puddin'-thieves are groaning
To see our noble band.'
from The Puddin' - Owners' Anthem by Bill Barnacle, Sam Sawnoff and Bunyip Bluegum
'We must as detectives
In search of a clue,
Track down those thieves,
And our Puddin' rescue.'
Bunyip Bluegum
'On a terrible quest we run north-west,
In a terrible rage we run;
With never a rest we run north-west,
Till our terrible work is done.
Without delay
Away, away,
In a terrible rage we run all day.'
From the The Puddin' Owners Quest
'The criminal foodstuffs need be arrested
From Puddin' assault we must be protected.'
Constable
'A Judge must be respected,
A Judge you mustn't knock,
Or else you'll be detected
And shoved onto the dock.'
The Judge
'Four puddin'- owners true,
And their puddin' too,
Who boldly claim
In Friendship's name
The noble Irish stoo,
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurroo!'
Puddin' Owners
