The Tripper's Lullaby 1931 Dame Florrie Forde

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Jul 2003

Father said to mother,
Shout "HipHipHooray!"
We're all on our way
to the seaside for the day.
Little Billy's lost his hat,
Lizzie's lost her purse,
but we never grumble
for it might be worse.

Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby:
There's no place like home!
Sing it low and sing it high,
sing it as in bed you lie,
sing it when you're feeling dry,
there's no place like home!
We've had a blow,
seen all the show,
we're going home
'cos there's nowhere else to go
Oh! Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
There's no place like home.

Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby:
There's no place like home!
Sing it low and sing it high,
sing it as in bed you lie,
sing it when you're feeling dry,
there's no place like home!
We've had a blow,
seen all the show,
we're going home
'cos there's nowhere else to go
Oh! Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
There's no place like home.

Sitting on the seaweed,
happy as can be,
we can't see the sea,
'cos there is no sea to see.
Father's ears are full of sand,
Mother's torn her frock,
poor old Auntie's crying
'cos she's lost her rock.

Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby:
There's no place like home!
Sing it low and sing it high,
sing it as in bed you lie,
sing it when you're feeling dry,
there's no place like home!
We've had a blow,
seen all the show,
we're going home
'cos there's nowhere else to go
Oh! Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
There's no place like home.

Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby:
There's no place like home!
Sing it low and sing it high,
sing it as in bed you lie,
sing it when you're feeling dry,
there's no place like home!
We've had a blow,
seen all the show,
we're going home
'cos there's nowhere else to go
Oh! Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
Sing the Tripper's Lullaby,
There's no place like home.
