We have been singing this right from the word "go" when dear Mike Hutchison was with us. We know the song as "THE GOOSE AND THE GANDER."

CHORUS: Let's have more beer in; the ale it is new.
You'll drink to me, boys, and I'll drink to you. CHORUS

The goose and the gander walked over the green.
The goose she went barefoot for fear of being seen. CHORUS

I once had a rabbit; 'twere blind of one eye.
I've not got it now, lads; 'twere baked in a pie. CHORUS

My dog is a mongrel; there's no doubt of that.
His mummy was a Labrador and his daddy was a cat. CHORUS

I bought me some cattle; of milk they were full.
But my ——* herdsman took a bucket to the bull. CHORUS

Some people ask Iris why she plays with this shower.
The answer is simple: every weed patch has a flower. CHORUS

This song is all nonsense, I'm sure you'll agree,
But what does it matter to you, boys, or me? CHORUS


* To suit whichever club, town or county we were signing in.
