about

We've been in the backyard camping on the trampoline for Covid-19 Easter.
I always thought the hot cross buns song was too short. So I made a longer one.

lyrics

Hot cross buns
You cook them in the fire yum yum yum
Hot cross buns
Look at that butter run run run

You cut 'em with a plastic knife
You put 'em in the fire irons
You do em with the Cross this side
You can have the bottom but the top is mine

Put em on the wood just right
Don't leave em there too long time
Turn em over do the other side
Get the welder glovesh and we'll see if they're done

Hot cross buns
You cook them in the fire yum yum yum
Hot cross buns
Look at that butter run rhun run

You can hear the kids play
Go and ask them where they came
They say that they don't know the name
Ask them how long they're gonna stay

They think until Sunday
Or until the weather changes
Ask them when they go to sleep
At the their mum's 7:30
At their dads 10 maybe
Tell them that we're cooking up an easter feast

One a penny two a penny, the world is a present don't forget it
3 a penny 4 a penny
There's kangaroo bones down there by the creek
Come come come come come along with me
I'll help you find a good stick for slashing at the reeds
And the river is wide and the river is deep, and the only to cross us at the fallen tree
And afterwards we're gonna just eat eat eat
