Lyrics[]
There was a bog
A rattlin' bog
It was a rare bog
And a rattlin' bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now in this bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree
The tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on this tree there was a limb
A rare limb, a rattlin' limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on this limb there was a branch
A rare branch, a rattlin' branch
The branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on this branch there was a twig
A rare twig, a rattlin' twig
The twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on this twig there was a leaf
A rare leaf, a rattlin' leaf
The leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on this leaf there was a nest
A rare nest, a rattlin' nest
The nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now on that nest there was an egg
A rare egg, a rattlin' egg
The egg on the nest
And the nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Now in the egg there was a bird
A rare bird, a rattlin' bird
The bird in the egg
And the egg on the nest
And the nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
A rare bog, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Additional verses in The Best of The Wiggles[]
Now on the bird there was a feather
A rare feather, a rattlin' feather
The feather on the bird
And the bird in the egg
And the egg on the nest
And the nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Now on the feather there was a flea
A rare flea, a rattlin' flea
The flea on the feather
And the feather on the bird
And the bird in the egg
And the egg on the nest
And the nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
