Talk about the shade of the sheltering palm
Praise the bamboo tree with it's wide spreading charm
There's a little nook down near old Hampstead Town
You know the place it has one great renown
Often with my sweetheart on a bright summers 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
Come come come and make eyes at me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush la la la la lah
Come come drink some port wine with me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush
Hear the little German Band da da da da da da dah
Just let me hold your hand dear
Do do come and have a drink or two
Down at the Old Bull and Bush
verse 2
In the little parlour on a cold winters night
All is very clear both so sunny and so bright
Nell looks at me now but not 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 me her troth and she's 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
So come come come and make eyes at me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush la la la la lah
Come come drink some port wine with me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush
Hear the little German Band da da da da da da dah
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
