You poor ol' Ernie, how he met his waterloo, And how Ted from Teddington went off and married Sue? Well, unbeknown to all of us, a few earlier on, A little lass from Leckhampton gave to Ernie's son.
She'd heard poor Ernie and the way in which he died; "I swear I'll get my vengeance on baker's man," she cried. For twenty years she held back and taught her son to be The best collector in the local UDC...
They him Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the dust cart in the west.
Now Bernie and his thought the time had come at last To go and that baker and confront him with the past. They the village where he lived and knocked from door to door, And he'd moved from twenty-two to number forty-four.
Bernie's mum said "Hold it son, while we devise a plan. The thing we must go and do is pinch his baker's van." So Bernie towed it down the road and it in the river, Then smiled and thought "That's one round there that baker deliver!"
was Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the biggest in the west.
Bern raced back to his who was standing by Ted's gate, They started shouting foul abuse, and have long to wait. The door slowly opened and old Ted came into view, He looked up and down and said "Now who the hell are you?"
"You may ask," said Bernie, "And now you're going to know That I'm the son of Ernie!" Ted back, "Oh no! I simply can't believe it's true. That's rubbish!" he said. "No, this is!" Bern cried, his load on Ted's new flower bed.
They him Bernie...(Bernie)... And he the biggest dust cart in the west.
Ted "Well, I'm a widower now, with nothing to my name, my lovely daughter Lil," and from the house she came. Her was long, her eyes were blue, her smile was beaming bright, And for up on his dustcart he just knew 'twas love on sight.
Their eyes were fixed together as she cried, "Please a heart." Then Bernie said, "Of course I will, jump up on the cart." And as they drove off hand in hand, Bern's mum up to Ted, "Forget the past, let's them!" So the four of them were wed.
All to Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the biggest cart in the west!
