Bill Sullivan Lyr Req: Twice Daily (34) Lyr Add: TWICE DAILY 04 Dec 98


Some words may not be exact (or I've guessed them) because the song is usually sang in a very strong, South Western English accent, but here goes.

When I were a lad, I were so glad
To go out in the daytime
With my fork, a bottle and a cork
to go out in the haytime
Were tossing hay upon the mound
Met young Lucy Bailey
I said "My dear, You often here."
She said, "Yes Sir, twice daily.

We had such fun in the Summer sun
Lucy were so thrilling
Sweet and pure but I wern't sure
That young maid were willing
till one day upon the mound, we were working gaily
She up's and slips, summet (means something)rips
And I went there twice daily

She said dear, I do feel queer
Think I ought to tell 'ee' (tell you)
It ain't new bread, she sadly said, that's swelling up my belly
Ought to go to Doctor Joe, off she went so gaily
Gave her a dollop of Gurpic Jollop (Last 2 words just a guess, but it's never stopped me singing it)
He said, "Take this twice daily."

Now Lucy's Dad were very mad
Chased I (me) round the haymound
Said my son, you've had your fun
The time has come to pay now
My girl you'll wed, the old mand said
As he waved his shotgun gaily
If you don't he said, I'll shoot some lead
And you won't go there twice daily

Well the very next day in the month of May
Held the ceremony
Paid off the Vicar with a gallon of Liquor
Rode to church on a pony
And the Village folks for miles around
Waved and shouted gaily
There's no doubt, you'll get caught out
If you go there twice daily

Now to Lucy's joy, she had a boy
what a little darling
Round and fat as a Cheshire cat
Perky as a Starling
Skin were smooth as a cider jar
An we called him Buster Bailey
Frettin' on Swedes and cheroot weeds
And a pint of Scrump' twice daily

Now I'm old, my story's told
Of forty years together
And we often stray, where we tossed the hay
In that old fine Summer weather
Kids we got full ten or more
We goes on quite gaily
Though I'm old and grey....
When I gets my way....

I still goes there Twice daily.

It was sung by Adg Cutler and the Wurzels.

Adg died many years ago. But he was a nice man.

It may not be perfect but I don't think anyone cared when I sang it. I bluffed what I didn't know too well.

Bill

Hope this is the song you were looking for.
