Well gather round me children
To tell the truth I'm bound
Here's a story bout when I went to see
And the wonders that I found
Shipwrecked was I one wintery day
And cast out on the shore
I decided I'd wonder away
The country to explore explore
The country to explore
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
I decided I'd wonder away
The country to explore
The country to explore

Well I had not long walked about
When there beside the ocean
Twas there that I saw something move
Like all the earth in motion
Well I steered close beside the thing
And so it was a great big crocodile
From the end of its nose to the tip of its tail
About five hundred miles was about five hundred miles
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
From the end of its nose to the tip of its tail
About five hundred miles was about five hundred miles

Well the crocodile I could plainly see
Was not of the common race
And I had to climb up a big tall tree
Before I could see its face
But the wind was blowing hard up there
It was blowing a gale from the south
And I lost my hold on the big tall tree
And I fell right into the crocodile's mouth
Smack dab into the crocodile's mouth
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
lost my hold on the big tall tree
And I fell right into the crocodile's mouth
Smack dab into the crocodile's mouth

Well the crocodile closed his jaws on me
He was gonna have a victim
But I ran down his throat you see
And that's the way that I tricked him
As I wandered around for a year or two
Till I finally reached his claw
And there was rum cakes not a few
And a thousand bullets in store in store
Thousand bullets in store
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
there was rum cakes not a few
And a thousand bullets in store in store
Thousand bullets in store

And I wandered around for a year or two
For grub I was not seeing
For I lived in the crocodile for 10 years
Very very well contented
Very very well contented
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
Toodleoodleoodleumdayyay
 I lived in the crocodile for 10 years
Very very well contented
Very very well contented

Now the crocodile was very very old
And late at long last he died
And he took six months to catch a cold
Cos he was so long and wide
And his skin was 10 miles thick I think
Or somewhere there about
For I was fully six months boys
Digging my way out
