Subject: Lyr Req: The Best that Money Can Buy (H Champion) From: Jim Dixon Date: 25 Feb 11 - 06:44 PM I couldn't find a complete recording of this song online. The best I could find was a medley that contained an abbreviated form of it. You can hear the medley at YouTube. This is the fifth song in the medley, after 1. I'M HENERY THE EIGHTH I AM 2. COVER IT OVER QUICK, JEMIMA 3. THE END OF MY OLD CIGAR 4. THE OLD RED LION THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUY As sung by Harry Champion VERSE: I courted a girl named Martha Crump*, And, oh, she was such a love of a lump! I used to call her Jelly(?) because she was so nice and plump, And when her mother wouldn't let her out, I used to sigh. All me pals said, "What are you sighing for?" To them I would cry: CHORUS: She's the best that money can buy. Hi-hi-tiddly-eye! She's the best that money can buy. Twenty stone all around, all of it meat and none of it bone. And she said ....(?) Hi-hi-tiddly-eye! She's the best that money can buy. * Harry Champion's real name was William Crump. Anybody have any more lyrics? |
