Intro = G D A D G D Down at an English fair one evening I was there A D When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair Verse 1 G I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts G D There they are all standing in a row D Big ones small ones some as big as your head A
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist D That?s what the showman said Verse 2 G I?ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts G D Every ball you throw will make me rich D There stands me wife the idol of me life D G Singing roll or bowl the ball a penny a pitch Chorus G Roll or bowl the ball a penny a pitch G D Roll or bowl the ball a penny a pitch D Roll or bowl a ball roll or bowl a ball D G Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch Repeat verse 1 G I?ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts G D There they are all standing in a row D Big ones small ones some as big as your head A Give them a twist a flick of the wrist D That?s what the showman said Repeat verse 2 G I?ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts G D Every ball you throw will make me rich D There stands my wife the idol of me life G Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch Chorus G Roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch G D Roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch D Roll or bowl a ball roll or bowl a ball D G Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch repeat as many times as you like....
