The Ogo-Pogo - 1924

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 04 Aug 2001

One fine day in Hindustan
I met a funny little man,
With googly eyes
And lantern jaws,
A new silk hat
And some old plus fours.
When I said
To that quaint old chap:
"Why do you carry
That big steel trap,
That butterfly net
And that rusty gun?"
He replied: "Listen here my son:

I'm looking for the OgoPogo,
The funny little OgoPogo,
His mother was an earwig,
His father was a whale,
I'm going to put
A little bit of salt
On his tail.
I want to find the OgoPogo
While he's playing
On his old banjo,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London
Wants to put him in the Mayor's Show."

I'm looking for the OgoPogo,
The funny little OgoPogo,
His mother was an earwig,
His father was a whale,
I'm going to put
A little bit of salt
On his tail.
I want to find the OgoPogo
While he's playing
On his old banjo,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London
Wants to put him in the Mayor's Show."

"On his banjo night and day
The OgoPogo loves to play,
He charms the snakes and chimpanzees,
The big baboons
And the bumble bees.
Lions and tigers
Begin to roar:
'Play us that melody
Just once more.'
Did I hear the sound
Of an old banjo?
Pardon me
I shall have to go!

I'm looking for the OgoPogo,
The funny little OgoPogo,
His mother was an earwig,
His father was a whale,
I'm going to put
A little bit of salt
On his tail.
I want to find the OgoPogo
While he's playing
On his old banjo,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London
Wants to put him in the Mayor's Show."

I'm looking for the OgoPogo,
The funny little OgoPogo,

I'm going to put

On his tail.
I want to find the OgoPogo
While he's playing
On his old banjo,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London,
The Lord Mayor of London
Wants to put him in the Mayor's Show."
