COCKNEY SCENA
Fall In And Follow Me
Fall in and follow me,
Fall in and follow me,
Come along and never mind the weather.
Altogether, come with me boys,
I know the way to go,
I’ll take you for a spree,
You do as I do and you’ll do well,
So fall in and follow me.

Barrow Boy
All me life I’ve wanted to be a barrow boy.
A barrow boy I’ve always wanted to be.
I gets me livin’, I stick to it with pride.
I‘m a Coster, a Coster, from over the Lambeth side.
I turn me back upon all the high society.
Take me where the ripe bananas grow.
They’re only a dozen a shilling.
That’s how I gets me living.
I ought to have been a barrow boy years ago!

Roll Out The Barrel
Roll out the barrel,
We’ll have a barrel of fun.
Roll out the barrel,
We’ve got the blues on the run.
Zing! Boom! ta rarel!
Ring out a song of good cheer.
Now’s the time to roll the barrel,
For the gang’s all here.

SEASIDE SCENA
All The Nice Girls Love A Sailor
All the nice girls love a sailor,
All the nice girls love a tar.
For there’s something about a sailor,
For you know what sailors are!
Bright and breezy,
Free and easy,
They’re the ladies’ pride and joy.
For they love a Kate or Jane,
Then it’s off to sea again.
Ship ahoy! Sailor Boy!

Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
Let him go, Let him tarry,
Let him sink or Let him Swim.
He doesn’t care for me
and I don’t care for him.
He can go and get another
That I hope he will enjoy,
For I’m going to marry
A far nicer boy!

By The Sea
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea,
You and I, you and I, oh how happy we’ll be
When each wave comes a rolling in,
We will duck and swim.
And we’ll float and fool around the water.
Over and under and then up for air.
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care.
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea,
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.

COUNTRY GARDEN SCENA
Down By The Old Mill Stream
Down by the old mill stream, where I first met you
With your eyes of blue, dressed in gingham too.
It was there I knew that you loved me true.
You were sixteen, my village queen,
By the old mill stream.

I’ll Be Your Sweetheart
I’ll be your sweetheart
If you will be mine.
All my life
I’ll be your Valentine.
Bluebells we’ll gather,
Keep them and be true.
When I’m a man my plan
Will be to marry you.

I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time
I’ll be with you in apple blossom time,
I’ll be with you to change your name to mine.
One day in May, I’ll come and say,
Happy the bride the sun shines on today.
What a wonderful wedding there will be,
What a wonderful day for you and me.
Church bells will chime.
You will be mine, in apple blossom time.

WAR YEARS SCENA
It’s A Long Way To Tipperary
It’s a long way to Tipperary,
It’s a long way to go.
It’s a long way to Tipperary to the sweetest girl I know.
Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square.
It’s a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart‘s right there.

Keep The Home Fires Burning
Keep the home fires burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
While our lads are far away
They dream of home.
There’s a silver lining
Through a dark cloud shining.
Turn the dark cloud inside out,
‘Til the boys come home.

Goodbye
Goodbyee, Goodbyee,
Wipe the tear baby dear from your eyee.
Tho’ it‘s hard to part I know,
I’ll be tickled to death to go.
Don’t cryee, don‘t cryee,
There’s a silver lining in the skyee.
Bon soir, old thing!
Cherio! Chin chin!
Nah-poo! Toodle-oo! Goodbyee.

IRISH PARLOUR SCENA
If You’re Irish Come Into The Parlour
If you’re Irish come into the parlour,
There’s a welcome there for you.
If your name is Timothy or Pat
So long as you come from Ireland
There’s a welcome on the mat.
If you come from the Mountains of Mourne,
Or Killarney’s lakes so blue.
We’ll sing you a song and we’ll make a fuss,
Whoever you are, you are one of us.
If you’re Irish, this is the place for you.

Sweet Rosie O’Grady
Sweet Rosie O’Grady, my dear little rose.
She’s my steady lady,
Most everyone knows.
And when we are married,
How happy we’ll be.
I love sweet Rosie O’Grady,
and Rosie O’Grady loves me.

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it’s like a morn in spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure they steal your heart away.
