The Longer Conga by George Kirk

Now Daisy danced a conga
But it all went quite wronga.
It’s not much fun
With only one.

---

She headed down the high street,
The conga beat in her feet.
She danced along,
And sang this song.

Oh come and join the conga,
The longer longer conga,
Go grab a friend,
Join on the end.

A frog and girl named Lulu
Both congaed in a tutu.
A frog and girl,
With skip and twirl.

A girl on skates joined in fast
She didn’t want to be last,
So with a spin,
She congaed in.

Oh come and join the conga,
The longer, longer conga,
Go grab a friend,
Join on the end.

The creatures of the hedgerow
Decided it was their go.
A fox and hare,
Danced everywhere.

A tiny little squirrel,
A badger name of Cyril,
Both congaed by,
No longer shy.

Oh come and join the conga,
The longer, longer conga,
Go grab a friend,
Join on the end.

A pirate and a mermaid
Were drawn into the parade.
They left the brine,
For conga line.

A spaceship had crash-landed,
The spaceman was quite stranded.
Lost out in space,
Found Conga Place.

So Daisy danced the conga
The longer, longer conga.
And now it’s fun,
With everyone.

Yes Daisy danced the conga
The longer, longer conga.
And now it’s fun,
With everyone!
