GUEST,James Lyr Req: Somebody threw a tomato at him (82* d) RE: Lyr Req: Somebody threw a tomato at him 10 Jul 11


Hi, My version of lyrics can be found in a widely used Scout songbook titled the IT book published by 10th Malvern scout group in December 1983. It goes like this:

Get away, get away,
It's a jolly fine song and we'll sing it all day.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

To market, to market went my brother Jim,
When somebody threw a tomato at him.
Tomatoes are soft and they don't bruise the skin,
But this one killed Jim; it was wrapped in a tin.

Mary the milkmaid was milking the cow.
The trouble with Mary, she didn't know how.
Along came the farmer and gave her the sack,
So she turned the cow over and poured the milk back.

I called on my girlfriend whose name was Miss Brown.
She was having a bath and she couldn't come down.
She said, "Slip on something; be down in a jiff."
She slipped on the soap and my gosh she was quick.

I looked out my window one bright sunny morn
And there was a tramp; he was chewing the lawn.
I said, "My good man, if you're wanting a snack,
The grass is much longer around at the back."
