Thread Name: Origins: Knees Up Mother Brown
Subject: RE: Knees Up Mother Brown
We used to sing....

Oh, knees up, Mother Brown, Knees up, Mother Brown.
Under the table you must go, Ee-I-Ee-I-Ee-I-O.
If I catch you bending I'll saw your legs right off,
So, knees up, knees up, Don't get the breeze up, Knees up, Mother Brown.

Oh my, what a rotten song
what a rotten song
what a rotten song
Oh my, what a rotten song
what a rotten singer too.

Bert.
