Of all the cons in England the folking is the best And I've got a flat in Chelsea where I'll lay me down to rest And a-folking I will go, and a-folking I will go.

Though I work in the city boys, and in the town was raised There's country airs round Regent's Park, may Cecil Sharp be praised, And a-folking I will go...

Though I'm seasick on the Serpentine and it hurts my arms to row When I sing a shanty boys, you can hear the whalefish blow

I'll buy me a melodeon, some whistles and some spoons, And I'll go round with morris men sight reading all the tunes

We'll morris dance on every green and ale in every bar, And then drive round from site to site in a little Morris car

Now where I get such tunes as this you may not understand, I've always got [hand over ear!] a Japanese transistor in me hand...

Learned by osmosis from the singing of Dave Calderhead, Hammersmith Morris, a very long time ago (ie before microchips took over from transistors).
