I was born of Geordie parents
One day when I was young.
That's how the Geordie dialect
Became my native tongue.
That I was a pretty baby,
Me mother, she would vow.
The girls all ran to kiss me then
- I wish they'd do it now.
Chorus
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
I've got itches in me britches
And I wish they'd do it now.
When I was only six months old,
The girls would handle me.
They'd hug me to their bosom
And they'd bounce me on their knee.
They'd put me in the cradle
And if I made a row,
They'd tickle me, they'd cuddle me
- I wish they'd do it now.
Chorus
At three years old a finer lad
There never could be seen.
The girls all loved to follow me
Right down to the green.
They'd make a chain of bu*tercups,
Drop it on me brow,
Then they'd roll me in the clover
- Well, I wish they'd do it now.
Chorus
The East End girls would call on me
To swim when it was mild.
They'd take me to the river
For to splash about a while.
They'd throw the water over me,
Duck me like a cow,
Then they'd rub me nice all over
- Well, I wish they'd do it now.
Chorus
Well, it's awful sad and lonely
To lead a single life.
I think I'll go to the dance tonight
And find meself a wife.
Oh, I have got six bundle pigs,
Likewise one big fat sow.
There'll be plenty love and bacon
For the girl who'll love me now.
For the girl who'll love me now
For the girl who'll love me now
There'll be plenty love and bacon
For the girl who'll love me now.
Chorus
