DOWN AT THE OLD BULL AND BUSH (Lyrics - Andrew B. Sterling, Russell Hunting, Percy Krone) (Music - Harry Von Tilzer - 1903)
1. Talk about the shade of the sheltering palm. Praise the bamboo tree with its wide spreading charm. There's a little oak down our old Hampstead town. You know the place. it has won great renown. Often with my sweetheart on a bright summer's day, To the little pub there my footsteps will stray. If she hesitates when she looks at the sign, Promptly I whisper, "Now do not decline."
CHORUS: Come, come, come and make eyes at me Down at the old Bull and Bush. Come, come drink some port wine with me Down at the old Bull and Bush. (Bush, bush) Hear the little German band. Just let me hold your hand, dear. Do, do, come and have a drink or two Down at the old Bull and Bush. (Bush, bush)
2. In the little parlour on a cold winter's night All is very cheerful, so snug and so bright Nell looks at me not now with a frown She would not change with the queen and her crown. It was there I first met the joy of my life She gave her troth and is now my dear wife Her eyes always glisten when she sees the old sign So all of you join in a glass of good wine
