We sing them and perform the Morris (in Australia no less)
Just watched the video to check ...

The words are:
BOLD SIR JOHN

OH Bold Sir John was young and fair,
And Bold Sir John was gay;
He said I'll tread the morning dew
To take the air and listen to
The twittering of the birds all day,
The bumblebees at play.
The Twit! The Twit! The Twit! The twit!
The twittering of the birds all day;
The Bum! The Bum! The Bum! The Bum!
The bumblebees at play.

So Bold Sir John he went his way,
Observing nature's farce
Dear Mother Earth, Oh tell me Pray,
Why elephants live so long, they say;
Your flies live but a day then they,
Drop dead upon the grass".
Your Flies! Your Flies! Your Flies! Your Flies!
Your flies live but a day then they;
Drop Dead! Drop Dead! Drop Dead! Drop Dead!
Drop dead upon the grass.

Now Bold Sir John he met a maid,
As on her back she lay
Please show respect and come not near
For I've seen many a maiden here;
Get lost among the new mown hay,
So doff your hat I pray".
Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!
Get lost among the new mown hay.
Sod off! Sod off! Sod off! Sod off!
So doff your hat I pray.

When Bold Sir John return'ed home,
They gave him gin to try;
"Nay fill me not with liquor up,
Nor give me grape nor grain to sup;
Pour cowslips dew into my cup,
A Puritan am I".
Poor Cow! Poor Cow! Poor Cow! Poor Cow!
Pour cowslips dew into my cup.
Up You! Up You! Up You! Up You!
A Puritan am I.
