Rabbits In A Basket - Lyrics

Two gentlemen went walking down the street one day. They meet a pretty fair maid coming the other way. Sing fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

Said one onto the other I know this young girl well. And bidding her good morning, what have you got to sell? Sing Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

I have butter and cream for sale likewise some new laid eggs, two rabbits in a basket and another one between my legs. Sing Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

I know you have butter and cream for sale, likewise some new laid eggs, but I wants to know the color and price of the one between your legs. Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

The color is is brown sir, the price is fifty pounds, the bargain made the money paid we're off for yonder town. Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

Then lifting up her petticoat there was snowy white. Then pulling down a rabbit and she gave me a fright. Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

Then turning to this fair young maid as she was standing right, I did not mean a rabbit but to lie with you all night. Sing Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day.

It's you we may have bargained, but the money we did pay. You robbed us of our fifty pounds, with a judge your going to stay. Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day. Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o Fol the diddle-o day
