down at an english fair,
one evening i was there,
when i heard a showman shouting, underneath the flair
i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
there they are 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
i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
everybody throw and make me rich,
there stands me wife,
the idle of me life,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch,
role a pole a ball,
role a pole a ball,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch
i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
(there lovely!)
there they are standing in a row,
(1,2,3,4)
big ones, small ones, some as big as your head,
(and bigger)
give em' a twist, a flick of the wrist,
that's what the showman said
now that i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
(da,da,da,da,da)
everybody throw and make me rich,
(have a banana)
there stands me wife,
the idle of me life,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch
all together now,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch,
harmony,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch,
r,r,r,r,r,r,r,role a pole a ball,
role a pole a ball,
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a pitch
singin' role a pole a ball, a penny a piiiiiiitch.
