Pete Seeger - Down-a-Down testo (lyrics)
[Pete Seeger - Down-a-Down testo lyrics]
Here's a song for one and all
(down-a down and down-a down)
Here's a song for one and all (with a down)
Here's a song for one and all
About a man just two feet tall
(with a down, derry derry derry down down)
He met a dame on Blytheswood square
She was forty, fat and fair
She says to him with a tender smile
"Would you be free for a wee short while?"
His evil mind began to roam
When she said "Deary, come on home"
She showed him to her room and said
"Put all your clothes upon that bed"
She said "I'll be right back in a tick"
The wee man through his clothes off quick
She brought her seven children in
Said, "See that ruckle of bone and skin?"
Says she, destroying all his courage
"That's what you get when
You don't eat porridge"
(down-a down and down-a down)
Here's a song for one and all (with a down)
Here's a song for one and all
About a man just two feet tall
(with a down, derry derry derry down down)
He met a dame on Blytheswood square
She was forty, fat and fair
She says to him with a tender smile
"Would you be free for a wee short while?"
His evil mind began to roam
When she said "Deary, come on home"
She showed him to her room and said
"Put all your clothes upon that bed"
She said "I'll be right back in a tick"
The wee man through his clothes off quick
She brought her seven children in
Said, "See that ruckle of bone and skin?"
Says she, destroying all his courage
"That's what you get when
You don't eat porridge"
