Who cut off their tail with a carving knife
Have u ever seen such a sport in your life
As three blind mice

A sanctuary
Pure and holy
Tried and true
With thanksgiving
As we are leaving (where we dey go)
Sanctuary, for You

Correct version
With thanksgiving
I'll be a living
Sanctuary, for You

CrownQ: @Op, no, the correct one is: praise the lord, oh sing on sing on, praise the lord.
For me, I sang, HIP for d hip for d hipopo, hipo hipo for d hi-po-po... But my little niece corrected hip for d hip for d hip, po po for d hippopo...
Also, if u'r born in January, come out, and dance, oringoringo apple tree, God bless u! Hahahaha, instead of , if u are born in January, come out and dance, and dance around d apple tree, God bless u.

The correct way of singing both are

Praise the Lord, o sing my soul, praise the Lord.

H I P for the HIP HIP HIP
P O P O for the HIPPOPO
and T A M U S for the HIPPOPOTAMUS,
HIPPOPOTAMUS !
It is aimed at teaching kids how to spell the hippopotamus

jingle bell, jingle bell
jingle all the way
father christmas open nyash
and everybody say, yeh!

did you see the nyash
that father christmas open
did you see the wogo-wogo
dancing all the way

We were not bush o, we actually knew the right lyrics. But this one was more enjoyable . And so we sang it so many times we forgot the right lyrics.

For me it was",Babangida open yansh,and everybody say fuuuun"
In primary school,we hated that name..

Jonwesley:

Haba! I'm wondering how Jangilova epo motor or JINGLE OVER LIKE A MOTOR!! became a childhood song. A song done by Mocheda a fews back. Poster, tell me your age abeg.Maybe the topic shd rather be songs that we missed their correct lyrics. SORRY IF I'M HARSH.

Na u supose tell us ur age!those born in the 70's and 80's will definately know dis song abi na ryhme..Obviously mochedda also knew dis ryhme yle growing up and dats y she added it to her lyrics.hw can u say d song originated from her.abeg try dey reason well,I no like dull pple

Policewoman: Agwa na, Agwa na rice. I want to eat agwa na rice God save my soul (Eternal, Eternal life, I want to live eternal life, God help my soul, I want to live eternal life..... E.t.c)

Some can eat but can no food
Some have food but can no eat
We have food and we can eat
Glory be to thee oh lord a men.

I have a little cough sa
In my litttle chest sa
Everytime I cough sir e give me a little pain sir
Ko ko koff sa
Polly put the kettle on (2x)
And let's have tea
Suzy do something......I don't remember d second line

That's how we sang it then
