Down at Barnum's fair

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

Down at Barnum's 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 all 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 as lovely bunch of coconuts,
There they are standing all in a row.

There stands my wife
The idol of my life
Shouting:
"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."
