Lyrics
Now Lucy went down on a farm,
Tried to milk a cow,
Tho’ she tried, she couldn’t
Get the hang of it somehow.
The farmer looked at Lucy
And he murmured with a frown,
Well now you just hang on tightly, girl,
And she’ll jump up and down.

CHORUS
Oh! Gather in the mushrooms,
Put ‘em in a pot,
Pop ‘em in the oven,
And serve ‘em piping hot.

To make herself more beautiful,
She thought she’d bathe in milk.
She said, “I’ll have a bathful,”
To her milkman, Jackie Wilke.
He said, “Do you want it pasteurized
Before I pour it in?”
She said, “No! I’ll be happy
If it comes up to my chin.”

CHORUS

The farmer courted Lucy
One dark and stormy night.
She said, “You are too old for me
Because your hair is white.”
He looked into her eyes
And then he knew he’d have to tell her,
“There’s snow up on the roof
But there’s a fire in the cellar.”

CHORUS

She took him in the kitchen,
She was his turtle dove,
And then she started cooking
Dumplings on the stove.
She wore a low cut dress,
It was as green as clover,
He jumped with glee ‘cos he could see
Her dumplings boiling over.

CHORUS

She said you give me half a crown
And I will read your palm,
And then she saw his love line
Went half way up his arm,
So now she’s changed her prices,
Although she’s just as willing,
It’s big fat men at two pounds ten
And little boys a shilling.

CHORUS
