Bass: Christoper Sibilia

Oh there was a little drummer
And he loved a wall-eyed cook.
Yes he loved her, of he lover her
Tho’ she had a cock-eyed look.

Refrain:
With her one eye in the pot
And the other up the chimney,
With a bow-wow-wow,
Fa-la the dow-a-didy
Bow-wow-wow.

When the couple went a-courtin’
For to walk along the shore,
Said the drummer to the cookie,
“You’re the girl that I adore.”

Refrain

On they went a-courtin’
Near the ships along the pier.
Said the cookie to the drummer,
“An’ I love you too, my dear.”

Refrain

Sez the drummer to the cookie,
“Will I buy thy wedding ring?”
Sez the cookie to the drummer,
“That would be the very thing!”

Refrain

When they went to church to say, “I will,”
That’s where the story ends.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Her one eye scared the preacher’s wife,
The other kilt her friends.

Refrain
