Bah-Bah-Bah-Bartholomew 1925

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 May 2002

One day old Bartholomew
A shepherd from afar
Left his farm to see life
And the lambs went Baa! Baa! Baa!
That night in the West End
Some diff'rent lambs he spied
They made him feel 'Sheepish'
As they gambolled round and cried!

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?

Soon inside a Cabaret
He did the best he could
Said: "I came for one day
but I think I'll stay for good!"
When he called for "Cider"
Some dancing ladies said:
"Forget about your sheep's tails'
Try some nice cocktail instead!"

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?

While at home his wifey sat
As lonesome as could be,
She switched on the wireless:
"I will listen in!" said she!
Soon from her Loud Speaker
Which brought out ev'ry word
She thought she'd hear Grand Opera
But this is what she heard:

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?

BahBahBahBartholomew!
Have you any wool?
BahBahBahBartholomew
Yes sir, three bags full
Your Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! whiskers,
we all want to pull
Oh! BahBahBahBartholomew
Have you any wool?
