Song Lyrics
Greg: Captain Feathersword and his friendly cockatoo

Were singing songs while playing at the zoo

Captain Feathersword: Wo-ho, ahoy there me hearties.

Greg: Captain Feathersword loved

His friendly cockatoo

He sang it loud, and it went

Something like this:

(Squawk, Whistle)

Cocky want a cracker

Cocky want a cracker

Pieces of eight

Pieces of eight

Greg: Everyone around the zoo

They heard the cocky's song

They sang and danced

Along with cocky too

Captain Feathersword: Wo-ho, I love dancing!

Greg: Crocodile Steve gathered 'round and said

Steve: Crikey, I like that cocky sound!

Greg: Then Captain and Steve sang

And you can sing it too

Captain Feathersword: Here we go, me hearties.

(Squawk, Whistle)

Cocky want a cracker

Cocky want a cracker

Pieces of eight

Pieces of eight

Captain Feathersword: Bobbing dance is so much fun.

It seems like fun for everyone.

Steve: Too right. Just look around me zoo.

Greg: The cocky sang so very loud

And so did all that gathered,'round.

Captain Feathersword: Crikey me hearties. You can do it too.

(Squawk, Squawk)

(Whistle, Whistle)

Cocky want a cracker
