Ould John Braddleum

A variation on a song written by Reg's grandfather


Number one, number one,
Now my tale has just begun,
With a rum tum taddleum.
RANDY CHESHIRE LADS ARE WE (Chorus after each verse.)

Number two, number two,
You're a rum looking lot,
Right boozed up crew,

Number three, number three,
Why can't vou be,
Teetotal Iiie me,

Number four, number four,
If you give her what she wants,
She'll want it all the more.

Number five, number five,
Too old for women?
Then why stop alive.

Number six, number six,
Careful of these girls,
Or you'll get them in a fix,
Number seven, number seven,
When folk singers die, sure,
They'll never go to heaven.

Number eight, number eight.,
Over there,
He can drink it by the crate.

Number nine, number nine,
It's water rots your boots,
You're safer with wine,

Number ten, number ten,
Bout time the women,
Bought a pint for the men.

Number eleven, number eleven,
If vou don't sing the chorus,
You're back to number seven.

Number twelve, number twelve,
If you want any more,
You can sing it yourselves.
