Ape: Down at Barnum's fair
One evening I was there
When I heard a showman
Shouting underneath the flair...
Showman: Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
There they are all standing in a row.
Wife: two, three, four
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist,
Ape: That's what the showman said.
Showman: Oi! I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich.
Wife: (me too love)
And there stands me wife, the idol of me life, singing
Wife: Roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch.
All: Singing, roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch,
Roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch,
Roll a bowl a bowl
Roll a bowl a bowl
Roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch.
Coconuts: Oh, we are a lovely bunch of coconuts.
Here we are all standing in a row
Wife: two, three, four
Coconuts: Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist,
(ah, come on, stop throwin' em)
Oh, we are a lovely bunch of coconuts.
Every ball you throw will make us rich.
Wife: (that's right, love)
Showman: And there stands me wife, she's the idol of me life, singing
Wife: Roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch.
All: Singing, roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch,
Roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch,
Roll a bowl a bowl
Roll a bowl a bowl
Singing roll a bowl a bowl a penny a pitch.
