Magdalena, Hagdalena

This is a crazy song that I play on the spoons. I learned it from my sister-in-law who remembers it from her Girl Scout days.

Magdalena, Hagdalena Uka Taka Waka Taka
Oka Mocha Polka was her name

She had seven hairs on the top of her head
Four were alive and the rest were dead

She had two eyes in the middle of her head
One was green and the other was red

She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth
One pointing north and the other pointing south

She had two teeth like a bathroom mat
Everybody asked how they got like that

And one day - a ten ton truck - hit poor Magdalena
The poor truck driver had to buy a new machine
