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 all standing in a row Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head Give them a twist a flick of the wrist That’s what the showman said I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts Every ball you throw will make me rich There stands my wife, the idol of me life Singing 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 Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely) There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four) Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger) Give them a twist a flick of the wrist That’s what the showman said I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts Every ball you throw will make me rich There stands my wife, the idol of me life Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now) Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony) 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
