Chorus:Wrapped up in brown paper, tied up with white stringHe would whistle as he wentWhen he was happy, he would singWell-Billy Batty was a butcher boy, he rode a butcher's bike,Down Dublin's dirty back streets at the dawning of daylightHe loved a girl named Lucy, Lucy loved another lad,A soldier tall and handsome, this made young Billy sadOne day a circus came to town it had a dancing bear,Billy had to go for he knew she would be thereThe second he rode up he know that something was awry,The crowd was all a gallop, Yelling Run before you die!Well the bear was mad with hunger as he broke free from his chainHe hade rampaged through the big top when all at once he came,Across the poor young Lucy, fallen curled up on the ground,The soldier boy was hiding he was nowhere to be found[Chorus:]Now Billy heard her screams and he knew at once what he must do,He took off on his trusty bike and to her aid he flewHe cycled right up to the bear and threw a piece of meat,The bear spun right around and he caught that beefy treatHe scarfed it down in just one bite and looked up for some moreRound him circled, Billy trailing sausage on the floorJust out of reach he kept him, as he lured the beast awayThe bear had got a taste, now brave young Billy was his prey[Chorus:](Break)He would sing-Three times around the tent, the creature had stop,He rested and he thought, then he began to skip and hopHe danced a polka and a waltz to everyone's delight,The crowd began to clap and cheer at such a wondrous siteBilly tossed the bear a lamb chop and a mighty t-bone steakThe dancing just got faster and the ground began to shakeHe swallowed whole two turkeys, strings of sausages galore,Then full, he gently lay down and began to loudly snoreWell the crowd went wild with pleasure and to our hero Lucy ran,She forgot the soldier boy, now brave young Billy was her manNow the moral of this story is, if ya want to win your Lucy,You better have a trusty bike and a sausage plump and juicyA sausage plump and juicyWrapped up in brown paper, tied up with white string,Now he never whistles,Every day, every day he sings-Ah la la diddle dee dum di diddle daAnd every day, every day he sings-La da du diddle dee dum di diddle daDum di doop di dum di doo...You've got:Chitterlings and chicken wings,Liver, tongue or tail,Gizzards, skirt or marrowbone,Game-hen, grouse or quailThere's trotters, t-bone, legs or thighsBrisket, neck or jowl,Partridge, duck and turkey,Pheasant, guinea fowlRib Eye, round or sirloin,Topside, rump or flankBison, goat, rummed and broiledPorterhouse or ShankBlack pudding, bacon, rashers,Scratchings, chicken feetHaggis, ham and sweat breadThere's every kind of meatYou've got shoulder, mutton, rabbitA rack of lamb or chops,Veil, venison, tripe,And kidney, heart or hocks
