Down at the English fair,
One evening I was there,
When i heard a showman shouting
Underneath the flare:
I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
There they are a-standing in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
Thats's what the showman said.
Hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
Heavier ball yer throw makes me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
"Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball"
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
[Instrumental]
I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts. (They're lovely!)
There they are a-standing in a row.
(One, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head!
(And bigger!)
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist,
Thats's what the showman said.
Now that hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
(La-da-dee-da-da)
Heavier ball yer throw makes me rich.
(Have a banana!)
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
All together now!
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
(Harmony!)
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
"Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball"
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
[Instrumental]
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a penny o' pitch!"
