Down at an English fair,
One evening I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting

Underneath the flare:

Hoi've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts.
There they are a-standin' in row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
That's what the showman said.

Hoi've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts.
Hevery ball yer throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"

Roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
