Wrapped up in brown paper, tied up with white He whistle as he went he was happy, he would sing
Billy was a butcher boy, he rode a butcher's bike, Dublin's dirty back streets at the dawning of daylight He loved a girl named Lucy, Lucy another lad, A soldier tall and handsome, this made Billy sad
One day a circus came to it had a dancing bear, Billy had to go for he knew she would be The second he rode up he know that was awry, The was all a gallop, Yelling "Run before you die!"
Well the bear was mad with hunger as he broke from his chain He rampaged through the big top when all at once he came, Across the poor young Lucy, fallen up on the ground, The soldier boy was hiding he was nowhere to be
(Chorus)
Now Billy her screams and he knew at once what he must do, He took off on his bike and to her aid he flew He cycled right up to the and threw a piece of meat, The bear spun right and he caught that beefy treat
He it down in just one bite and looked up for some more Round him circled, Billy trailing sausage on the Just out of he kept him, as he lured the beast away The had got a taste, now brave young Billy was his prey
(Chorus)
(Break)
He would Three times around the tent, the had stop, He rested and he thought, then he began to and hop He danced a polka and a waltz to delight, The crowd began to clap and at such a wondrous site
tossed the bear a lamb chop and a mighty t-bone steak The dancing just got faster and the ground to shake He whole two turkeys, strings of sausages galore, full, he gently lay down and began to loudly snore
Well the crowd went wild with and to our hero Lucy ran, She the soldier boy, now brave young Billy was her man Now the moral of this story is, if ya want to win Lucy, You better have a trusty and a sausage plump and juicy A sausage plump and
Wrapped up in brown paper, tied up with string, Now he whistles, Every day, every day he
Ah la la dee dum di diddle da
And every day, day he sings-
La da du diddle dee dum di da Dum di di dum di doo...
