The Drummer and the Cook

The Drummer and the Cook - Harry Belafonte (哈里·貝拉方特)

Written by：P. Campbell/Trad Campbell

Oh there was a little drummer

And he loved a one-eyed cook

He loved her oh he loved her though

She had a cock-eyed look

With her one eye on the pot

And the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow

Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow

And this couple went a courtin'

For to walk along the shore

Said the drummer to the cookie

"You're the girl that I adore"

With her one eye on the pot

And the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow

Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow

Said the drummer to the cookie

"Will you name the wedding day"

Said the cookie

"We'll be married in the merry month of May"

With her one eye on the pot

And the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow

Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow

Said the drummer to the cookie

"Will you buy the wedding ring"

Said the cookie "Now you're talkin'

That would be the very thing"

With her one eye on the pot

And the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow

Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow

When they went to church to say

I will the drummer got a shock

For her one eye killed the parson

And the other stopped the clock

With her one eye on the pot

And the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow

Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow
