[N] And the song is a feature of the National Song and Dances of [Ab] Wales.
[Db] Now, what about if London [F] had its own song and [Ebm] dance programme?
Could it be something like [Ab] this, the Cofney Street of Song?
Follow the band and don't dilly dally on the [Gb] way
[C] Off went the [F] band with me, all packed [Bbm] in it
[Eb] I walked behind with me [Ab] old pop linen
But I dilly, I dally, don't dilly
I'm hanging, [Eb] don't know where to [Ab] go
I'll
[Db] trust the specials like the [Gb] old time covers
When you can't find your way
[F] [Bb] Oh, any old iron, any old iron, any, any, any old iron
[C] You look sweet, talk about a treat
You look a dapper from your [F] napper to your feet
You're [Bb] dressed in style, ladies style
Your mother's old [F] green hat on
But [Gm] I won't give a tans for your old [Bb] birdcage
Old iron, [F] old iron
[Dm] Oh, don't be like that, girl
I was [D] only kidding
I [Gbm] wouldn't upset her for the world, would [Db] I, my lovely, [Gm] eh?
[G] [Am] I've got a pal, a [C] regular, at an atter
[F] She's a [C] dear good old gal
And I'll [Am] tell you [B]
all [A] about [G] her
[C] We've been [Am] together now [D] for [G] forty [C] [G] years
And it [C] doesn't seem a [D] day [G] too much
But [Am] there ain't a lady [G] living in [A] this land
[D] That I'd swap [G] for me dear old darlin'
Oh, [Am] there ain't [B] a lady living [Gm] in [A] this land
That I'd [Dm] swap [G] for [Am] me dear [G]
old [C] darlin'
What a mouth, what a mouth, what an orphaned south crike
What a mouth he's got, when he went to [G] Old Lord Loughborough
[D] [G] [C] For, chap, he's never been knelt to [G] laugh
[C] For if he did, it's a penny to a quid that [G] his face had [C] fallen off
What [Db] a mouth, what a mouthed south crike
Coleman, an old short-sighted fella
[Eb] Saw his mouth wide open, he [Ab] took it for himself
[Db]
He cried into his mouth, [Ab] no joke
Now, [Gb] poor soul's got a tongue like coal
And his [Ab] face is the colour [Db] of coal
And [G] now there [Gm] ain't a [C] lady living [F] in [Bb] this land
That I'd [Eb] swap [Ab] for me
[Ebm] dear [Db] old darlin'
[A] [D]

It wasn't [G] just a siren, it [A] wasn't your [D] mate
[E] [A]

You mean I didn't [G] pale moonlight?
I [Gb] did tell [B] your missus when you [E] got home
You were [D] with lies
[E] Well, I was at a [A] ding-dong-dang, dear old Brixton Way
Old Mother Brown, the pearly queen, was [B] angry yesterday
[A] Oh, what a celebration, was really lardy-dar
Until they [Bm] rolled the carpet up and said, come [E] on, Ma
Knees up, Mother Brown, [Gb] knees up, Mother [B] Brown
[E] Come to the table, you must go, ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-o
[A] If I catch you bending, I'll throw your legs right off
[E] Knees up, knees up, don't get a breeze up
Knees up, Mother [F] Brown
