Roll Or Bowl a Ball - A Penny a Pitch

Melody -

Fred Heatherton, 1944

Down at the English Fair,
One ev'ning I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting
Underneath the blare.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are a-standing in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your 'ead
Give 'm 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 me wife,
the idol of me life,
Singin' roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch.
Singin' roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch,
Singin' roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch!
Roll or bowl a ball.
Roll or bowl a ball,
Singin' roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch.
