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.
