Thread Name: Origins: Old Dan Tucker
Subject: Lyr Add: Old Dan Tucker (Children Version)
Now Old Dan Tucker is a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his head with a wagon wheel,
Died with a toothache in his heel.

Get out the way old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper,
Supper's over, and dinner's cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin'.

Now Old Dan Tucker is come to town,
Riding on a billygoat, leading a hound,
Hound dog bark and the billygoat jump,
Landed Dan Tucker on top of a stump.

Get out the way old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper,
Supper's over, and dinner's cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin'.

Now Old Dan Tucker, is come to town,
Swinging the ladies round and round,
First to the right and then to the left
And then to the one that he loves the best.

Get out the way old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper,
Supper's over, and dinner's cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin'.
