I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts
(Fred Heatherton)

Down at the county fair
One evening I was there
I heard a barker shouting
Underneath the flair...

"Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
There they are all 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.

Oi! 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,
Singing 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.

Recorded by Danny Kaye, Merv Griffin, and others.
Fred Heatherton, 1949?, Box & Cox Publications, ASCAP.
