Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Old Ann Tucker and my Aunt Sall,
They both lived down at Camberwell;
The name of the house I can't tell you at all,
It's in the first and gaudiest hall.
Chorus
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Get 'e out o' the way, old Ann Tucker!
You're too late to have any supper.
Verse 2
Old Ann Tucker she was a wife,
Biggest old stup I saw in my life;
She'd a hump like a camel all on her back,
And old Ann Tucker was just like that.
Chorus
Verse 3
Old Ann Tucker she had a son,
Biggest stup as ever run;
He buttoned his breeches up round his throat,
And wore his waistcoat outside his coat.
Chorus
Verse 4
Old Ann Tucker she went to bed,
And on the pillow she laid her head;
She tried to sleep but it was no use,
For her legs hung out for the chickens to roost.
Chorus
Verse 5
And when at night she went to bed,
She pulled a night cap on her head;
Blowed out the candle and shut her eyes,
And didn't get up till the sun does rise.
Chorus
Verse 6
Old Ann Tucker one hundred and one,
Points the way for the dear old sun;
Her nose sticks out and her eyes stick in,
And her lower lip hangs down over her chin.
Chorus
Verse 7
And now my song is nearly done,
I hope I have offended none;
The cat's in the cupboard and the meat's on the shelf,
If you want any more you must help yourself.
Chorus
