Ape: Down at Barnum's fair

One evening I was there

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.

Wife: two, three, four

Coconuts: Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head

Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist,

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
