Saw a snail chase a whale, Fooba Wooba, Fooba Wooba,
Saw a snail chase a whale, Fooba Wooba John.
Saw a snail chase a whale, all around the water pail.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba Wooba John.


Saw a frog chase a dog, Fooba Wooba, Fooba Wooba,
Saw a frog chase a dog, Fooba Wooba John.
Saw a frog chase a dog, sitting on a hollow log.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba Wooba John.

Saw a flea kick a tree, Fooba Wooba, Fooba Wooba,
Saw a flea kick a tree, Fooba Wooba John.
Saw a flea kick a tree, in the middle of the sea.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba Wooba John.

Heard a cow say me-ow, Fooba Wooba, Fooba Wooba,
Heard a cow say me-ow, Fooba Wooba John.
Heard a cow say me-ow, then I heard it say bow-wow.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba Wooba John.
