 Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg

 ============================

 

 [Chorus:] 

 I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 Wherever I go through rain and snow 

 The people always let me know 

 There's Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 With his extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle 

 

 The day that I born (oh boy) my father nearly died 

 He couldn't get my nappies on, how matter how he tried 

 'Cos I was born with an extra leg, and since that day begun 

 I had to learn to stand on my own three feet 

 Believe me that's no fun 

 

 [Chorus] 

 

 I had a dreadful childhood really, I s'pose I shouldn't moan 

 Each time they had a three legged race, I won it on me own 

 And also I got popular, when came the time for cricket 

 They used to roll my trousers up 

 And use me for the wicket 

 

 [Chorus] 

 

 I was a dreadful scholar, I found all the lessons hard 

 The only thing I knew for sure, was three feet make a yard 

 To count to ten I used me fingers, if I needed more 

 By getting my shoes and socks off 

 I could count to twenty four 

 

 I'm Jake the [stops to count] 

 

 ...to twenty five 

 

 I'm Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 Whatever I did they said was false 

 They said "quick march" I did the quick waltz 

 Then they shouted at me "put your best foot forward" - but which foot? 

 I said "it's very fine for you, you only got a choice of two" 

 But me, I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um 

 With the extra leg... diddle-iddle-iddle-um
