I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts
(Fred Heatherton)

Down at the county fair
One evening I was there
I heard a barker shouting
Underneath the flair...

"Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
There they are all standing in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist."
That's what the showman said.

Oi! I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
Every ball you throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife,
The idol of me life,
Singing roll a bowl, a ball, a penny a pitch.

Singing, roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch.
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch.
Roll a bowl a ball.
Roll a bowl a ball.
Singing, roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch.

You got me there. All I knew is the two lines I, uh, quoted...

I admit that I knew a line or two further....but had to go to the web for the rest......

sirquack,

yea i knew you were joking, no hostility here intended at all

sometimes i just put !'s in random places. it's hard to type the way you'd say it in real life. maybe someday forums will be all voice and no type. then my typing skills would be shot

NOT A PROBLEM, OH CRAP I HAVE MY CAPS ON, NO I'M NOT REALLY YELLING, REALLY.....
