Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’ve got a loverly bunch of cocoanuts
There they are a standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give ’em a twist, a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a loverly bunch of cocoanuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands me wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll or bowl a ball, roll or bowl a ball
Singing roll or bowl a ball a penny a pitch
