Character 2 |
| In comes Dick with all his men, He's come to see you once again | Once he was alive, but now he's dead He's nothing but a poor old horse's head. |
|
|
|
| Now ladies and gentlemen, just view around, See whether you've seen a better horse stand upon England's ground | He's double ribbed, sound footed, and a splendid horse in any gears. |
| And read him if you can, and every time he opens his mouth, his head's half off | He's travelled high, he's travelled low |
| He's travelled all through frost and snow | He's travelled through icky picky |
| Where there's neither land nor city | Houses thatched with pancakes |
| Walls built with penny loaves | Little pigs running about with knives and forks in their backs shouting out "Who'll eat me?" |
| Wooden churches, pig puddings for bell-ropes | Black puddings growing on apple trees and they cut them off as they want them |
| This horse... | This horse.. |
| ...was bred from old Red Rum | The finest mare that ever run |
| Run fourteen mile in fifteen hours | And never sweat a hair. |
| Now this horse has an eye like a hawk | A neck like a swan |
| Every tooth in its mouth stands rank gank like a regiment of pickled onions | Tongue like an old rug mat |
| And his ears are made out of dead tom cat | |
|
|
|
| Now I ask you all to open your heart, to buy Dick a new spring cart | |
| Not one for him to draw, but to ride in | Now its time for Dick to go, So we can start with the show |
| If you don't believe these words I say
Step in the dancers and musician play |
OR And while away Dick does prance,
Bring on the Morris Men, lets have a dance |
