Sitting On The Ice In The Ice Rink

Sitting On The Ice In The Ice Rink - George Formby

Now here's a new amusement

That is get in all the craze

You'll find that it's good exercise

For folks of every age

Now I go there most every night

And sometimes take the wife

I've never had so many ups and downs

In all my life

Since I've been sitting on the ice in the ice rink

Sitting on the ice with my skates on

It's the finest fun I've ever had

Put it on the ice and it'll never go bad

There's lots of nice young ladies

And how I like to tease em

If they don't give way or say O K

I sit 'em on the ice and freeze 'em

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

We had some fun on the run

In a one-horse open sleigh

Now once I went out walking with a pretty little miss

She said "I like you very much"

And gave me one big kiss

She was a perfect little blonde

And not so very old

She let me hold her in my arms

And 'by gum' she was cold

'Cause she'd been sitting on the ice in the ice rink

Sitting on the ice with her skates on

Oh how hot she must have felt

She sat upon the ice and the ice began to melt

She was so young and pretty

What a blow that fall had dealt her

For we couldn't pick her up in the ordinary way

We had to bring a fire and melt her

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

We had some fun on the run in a one-horse open sleigh

Last night I went out for a drink down to the Cherry Tree

I didn't go there by myself I took some pals with me

We landed home at half past two

I rang the front door bell

The wife said "Where've you been"

And I said "you can go to bed"

'Cause I've been sitting on the ice in the ice rink

Sitting on the ice with my skates on

It's the finest fun I've ever had

Put it on the ice and it'll never go bad

The buttons bust off my trousers

I got into such a tangle

I said "Heaven help the sailors on a night like this

And never let your braces dangle "
