Cosher Bailey had an engine
That was always needing mending
And according to the power
It would do four miles an hour
Was you ever saw
Was you ever saw
Was you ever saw
Such a funny thing before
There's a little pub in Wales
Where they sell the best of ales
If you want a drink on Sunday
You will have to wait till Monday
Was you ever saw
Was you ever saw
Was you ever saw
Such a funny thing before
(further verses ad lib)
DID YOU EVER SEE
Mrs. Jones she had a mangle
She did turn it with a handle
She did turn it with such power
She did forty miles an hour
Did you ever see
Did you ever saw
Did you ever see such a funny thing before?
There's a little pub in Wales
Where they sell the best of ales
If you want a drink on Sunday
You will have to wait till Monday
Did you ever see...
Oh I had a brother Rupert
He did play full back for Newport
But whilst playing at Llanelly
They did kick him in the belly
Did you ever see...
Oh I had a brother Ikey
Who did ride a motor bikey
And he said he rode to Gower
In a quarter of an hour
Did you ever see...
Then I had a sister Phyllis
Who did work at Pontardulais
But the boss he had to sack her
'Cos he caught her chewing 'bacca
Did you ever see...
Oh I had a brother Trevor
He was very, very clever
He could play upon the fiddle
Up the sides and down the middle
Did you ever see...
Oh I had a sister Anna
She did play the grand pianna
When she played full presto
All the buttons fly off her vesto
Did you ever see
Did you ever saw
Did you ever see such a funny thing before?
