The Mighty Nile Poem by Nellie Isabelle Steward Cooper

I'm a friendly crocodile
living on the Mighty Nile..

The Mighty, Mighty, Mighty Nile.

Oh, such a friendly, crocodile
... living on the Mighty, Mighty, Mighty Nile

How do you like my toothy smile? ? ? ...
My engaging style, my sublime profile
... carefully crafted to beguile.

Won't you join me for a while
On the Mighty, Mighty, Mighty Nile

Munching on a wildebeest
... a pleasant repast, not a feast
... a tasty morsel in my trap
... a little snack before my nap

As my jaws close tightly down
... primal sounds do abound
... flesh and blood swirling all around
... soon not a trace can be found

Crunching bones is what I do,
... it's my normal, .... now how about you?

In bright sunlight or overcast
... forever vigilant and steadfast
... majestically ensconced in this domain of mine

come on in the water's fine,
come on in the water's fine
yes, yes, yes, so very fine
come on in the water's fine

Living on the Mighty, Mighty, Mighty Nile
Living on the Mighty, Mighty, Mighty Nile

Won't you join me for a while

I'm a friendly crocodile....

Such a friendly crocodile! ! !
