Hey Ho! Cook And Rowe! (Original Mix)

Hey Ho! Cook And Rowe! - Ewan MacColl

Lyrics by：Peggy Seeger

Composed by：Traditional

As true a story I'll relate

Hey ho cook and rowe

How the landlord told don cook one night

Hey ho cook and rowe

You must answer questions nine

Hey ho cook and rowe

To see if your flat is yours or mine

Hey ho cook and rowe

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe

Oh what is higher than a tree

Hey ho cook in rowe

And what is lower than a flea

Hey ho cook and rowe

My rent is higher than a tree

Hey ho cook and rowe

And the landlord's lower than a flea

Hey ho cook and rowe

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe

What goes on and never stops

Hey ho cook and rowe

And what is gentler than a cop

Hey ho cook and rowe

The tenants' fight will never stop

Hey ho cook and rowe

And the devil is gentler than a cop

Hey ho cook and rowe

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe

What is stronger than a door

Hey ho cook and rowe

And tell me what a roof is for

Hey ho cook and rowe

Barb wire is stronger here's your proof

Hey ho cook and rowe

The bailiffs came in through the roof

Hey ho cook and row

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe

Will you get off my property

Hey ho cook and rowe

Or will you pay the rent to me

Hey ho cook and rowe

We've settled in as you can see

Hey ho cook and rowe

Now won't you stop for a cup of tea

Hey ho cook and rowe

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe

O now I've lost my board and bed

Hey ho cook and rowe

I'll barricade the streets instead

Hey ho cook and rowe

So all you tenants settle in

Hey ho cook and rowe

Keep up the fight you're bound to win

Hey ho cook and rowe

Hey ho tell them no

With a barb wire fence and a piano

Took a thousand cops to make them go

Three cheers for cook and rowe
