Lyrics
- I’m the Queen of Oogaboo
And this here is my army
I’ll confide a fact to you
No enemy can harm me
We can conquer any land
Hip! Hip! Hip! Hip!
We can fight to beat the band
Hip! Hip! Hip! Hip!
Foeman see us, quickly flee us
Ev’ry one would like to be us
We’re courageous through and through
And fight for Oogaboo
For Oogaboo, Oogaboo, Oogaboo
For Oogaboo! For Oogaboo!
We are the army of Oogaboo
We are the army of Oogaboo
Pennants flying, foes defying
Brave undaunted, bold and true
To Oogaboo
For if we fight and run away
Then we can fight another day
That is why we always cry
Hurrah for Oogaboo
2. March, march, march, march
Oh the march I be
No army in the universe
Can march as well as he
Halt, halt, halt, halt
Halted now I be
No army in the universe can halt
Can halt as quick as quick as he
As quick, as quick as he
Can halt as quick as quick as he
As quick as he, can halt as quick
As he, as quick as he
We are the army of Oogaboo
We are the army of Oogaboo
Pennants flying, foes defying
Brave undaunted, bold and true
And true, and true
For if we fight and run away
Then we can fight another day
That is why we always cry
Hurrah for Oogaboo! boo! boo!
