From Songs Of The Pogo by Walt Kelly & Norman Monath- I own a really nice vinyl copy and i cherish it. You can buy the reissue and it's well worth it. I checked out amazon and apparently they used the album(!) for the cd issue cuz there were no tapes or masters or nothing. Plus, the amazon listing is funny cuz Norman Monath actually posts on it and scolds the people reviewing the album who probably thought he was long dead! Hah! Go Go Pogo is a thing of beauty and sung by Walt himself. Lyrics?:
As Maine go o so Pogo go Key Largo,
Otsego to Frisco go to Fargo,
Okeefenokee playin'
Possum on a Pogo
Stick around and see the show go over
Landalive a band o'Jive will blow go pogo
I go you go who go to go Polly voo go,
From Caravan Diego,
Waco and Oswego,
Tweedle de he go she go we go me go Pogo.
Atascadero Wheeler Barrow,
Some place in Mexico,
Delaware Ohio and you
Don't need the text to go.
Wheeling, West Virginia
With ev'rything that's in ya,
Down the line
You'll see the shine
From Oregon to Caroline,
Oh, eenie meenie minie Kokomo go Pogo.
Tishimingo, sing those lingo, whistling go.
Shamokin to Hoboken
Chenango to Chicongo
It's golly, I go goo goo goin' go go Pogo.

I need me a good collection of Pogo strips, it's been years since I read it.
