A Little Bit Of Cucumber
A LITTLE BIT OF CUCUMBE
I was raised on cucumber and on my wedding day
When the fun was over and the guests had gone away
My old darling said to me, "You must be hungry Joe
Is there anything you fancy?", I says, "Fancy? Don't you know?
I like pickled onions, I like piccalilli
Pickled cabbage is all right with a bit of cold meat on
Sunday night
I can go tomatoes, but what I do prefe
Is a little bit of cucum, cucum, cucum, little bit o
cucumber
I went flying through the air with my old college chu
Suddenly he told me we were bound for kingdom com
Have you any last requests before we wear a crow
I began to shake and said, write this confession dow

I said to the waiter there, "You don't know who I am.

Several years of married life have brought me lots of joys
I've got six or seven girls, and I don't know how many boys
When the last one came to town I looked at his forehead
It was marked with a cucumber and this is what he sai
CHORU
I like pickled onions, I like piccalilli
Pickled cabbage is all right with a bit of cold meat on
Sunday night
I can go tomatoes-es, but what I do prefe
Is a little bit of cucum, I come, you come, a little bit o
cucumber
