The Cannibal Song

Once upon a time

There were ten little cannibals swingin' on a vine

One tried to pat a big wild cat, and then there were nine

One of the nine drank turpentine, and then there were eight

Then one more fell dead on the floor, and seven was their fate

One went in politics, then there were only six

One took a dive, now five we see

One went to Singapore, then there were only four

One turned green, and then there were three

One fell into some glue, and then there were only two

They drank from a loving cup

One became a skeleton, then there was only one

And he ate himself all up

Then of course there were none

Now let's do it again and sing the answers

Let's sing along with this cannibal song
