GUEST,Chris Lyr Req: Old Man 'Badiah Jumped in the Fire (40) RE: Lyr Req: Old Man 'Badiah Jumped in the Fire 17 Jun 13


As told to me by my Grandpa circa 1950 in Preston Lancs with broad Lancs accent:
When I were a lad as big as me Dad
I came out a pea pod
Pea pod was so full
I came out a roarin' bull
Roarin' bull was so fat
I came out a gentleman's 'at
Gentleman's 'at it was so fine
I came out a bottle o' wine
Bottle o' wine it was so clear
I came out a bottle o' beer
Bottle o' beer was so thick
I came out a knob stick
Knob stick wouldn't bend
I came out a turkey 'en
Turkey 'en it wouldn't lay
I came out a lump o' clay
Lump o' clay it was so nasty
I came out an apple pasty
Apple pasty was so good
I came out a lump o' wood
Lump o' wood it was so rotten
I came out a bag o' cotton
Bag o' cotton set on fire
And blew me up to Jeremiah.... Puff, Puff, Puff.

I have just started teaching it to my Grand daughter (age 1)
