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
