There was a greedy man Back in Africa He was very greedy That he was nicknamed Mr Knock-knock This man had devised a strategy He would knock at people's homes Just when they are about to eat their dinner The custom, back in Africa Is to offer your food to visiters Even when you are not willing to So Mr Knock-knock was always full up He was the fattest man in the village He was the laziest man in the village He attended most funerals in the village Because you need no invitation To give a helping hand Especially at funerals One funeral he attended, He cried so loudly That the widow of the dead man Came and comforted him After eating nosh He was chased away violently Because he never knew the dead man Mr Knock-knock married last year Mrs Knock-knock is even worse She knocks very loud She even uses Bible verses To make you feel guilty For not feeding thy neighbour Especially when you are ignoring her knock Open UP!
