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