Gordon The Goat

(album: Songs From Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

Did you hear about Gordon the Goat?
He once ate an overcoat
A couple of sacks and a bale of hay
Some paper plates and cups that were thrown away

So if you have a party, well, you know who to invite
To clear up all the rubbish with his appetite
Gordon the Goat will open his throat
And scoff the lot

Once I heard about a time
He ate the washing off the line
And he was so hungry so I heard tell
He went and ate the washing line as well

So if you have a party, well, you know who to invite
To clear up all the rubbish with his appetite
Gordon the Goat will open his throat
And scoff the lot

Gordon the Goat could eat an armchair
The cushions as well if there were some to spare
He could even eat a three piece suite
He never really seems to get enough to eat

So if you have a party, well, you know who to invite
To clear up all the rubbish with his appetite
Gordon the Goat will open his throat
And scoff the lot

If he had the time, Gordon the Goat
He could eat an aeroplane, he could eat a boat
He could eat a house, he could eat a town
A glass or two of lemonade would help to wash it down

So if you have a party, well, you know who to invite
To clear up all the rubbish with his appetite
Gordon the Goat will open his throat
And scoff the lot
