Chorus
List to the tale of a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuctoo
Who long had longed for a missionary
Skin and bones and hymn book, too
Chorus
List to the tale of a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuctoo
Who dined one day on a missionary
Skin and bones and hymn book, too
Chorus
List to the tale of a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuctoo
Who stewed one day with a missionary
Skin and bones and hymn book, too
