Old childrens record 10 little cannibals 1970's

[HappyGilmore]

I saw the other thread where they were talking about the movie projector wow the stuff you totally forgot you had until someone reminds you. My sister and I had a record that we used to play with that had a song about cannibals (sounds gross but..) I for the life of me can not remember the name if it but it may have been a counting type record and something is telling me it had something to do with Jimminy Cricket... but maybe not. Does anyone remember having a childrens record that had a song about 10 little cannibals??

Ten Little Cannibals

Once upon a time there were 10 little cannibals
Swingin' on a vine,
One tried to pet a big wildcat,
And then there were nine.

One of the nine drank turpentine
And then there were eight.

Then one more fell dead on the floor
And seven was their fate.

One went to politics,
Then there were only six.

One took a dive,
Now five we see.

One went to Singapore,
Then there were only four.

One turned green,
Then there were three.

One fell into some glue,
Then there were only two...

They drank from a loving cup.
One became a skeleton,
Then there was only one,

And he ate himself all up.
(What a silly thing to do!)

Wow so my memory was correct!!! I recalled it was a morbid kind of song for it to be Disney but it was! It brings back childhood memories.. I would love to hear that song again. I will have to try to find that record (haha and a record player to play it on)

Found the record you're talking about and made an mp3 of that track. You can find it at xwallace com under "stuff" on the navigation bar.
