| THE WIND BLEW IT OUT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You might think I'm a funny looking feller Well, you ought to see my old wife, Isabella She's got a face just like a bushel basket And walks like a prize pig up in a market Took her out with the kids one day Told her to make up smart She went and got her mother's crinoline And at first did please my heart For I felt proud of my 'Old Dutch Clock' Till out in the street we got And she couldn't walk in the funny crinoline So right in the roadway shot. Chorus: When the wind blew it out, blew it out, blew it out There came a puff of wind and blew it out I think ev'ryone in London should have heard her Shouting, 'Fireworks' and 'Blue Murder' We had a struggle to hold her down And 'twas hard work there's no doubt She fell with such a bump and it fairly broke her heart When there came a puff of wind and blew it out. |
