THE POO SONG
Poo, Poo, Poo, This is a song about poo. I know
the word is taboo Dont make a hullaballoo Its
something all of us do.   But if you havent a
loo Then its a problem for you Which is why we
have to do This song about poo!   Dad weve had
an education We know all about hygiene No more
squatting by the road side You have to dig a VIP
latrine  
A Ventilation Improved Pit Thats the type we
require With a plastic pipe to catch the
flies And a pile of ash from the fire   Dad, we
dont live in a zoo You cant just do
doo-doo-doo Hey Dad were talking to you And the
other dads too.   Nobody will come to our
house Other kids all shout at me My dads cleaner
that your dad Cause we havent got a VIP
Daddy were not talking dirty We agree and so
does mum You should build a latrine And well all
keep it clean! It will solve the pain in your
bum   OOH!   That was a song about poo Its over,
finished, and through Its time to bid it
adieu   But if we made a CD In a week it would
be Number Two PHEW!
