Temple Shirley - Knocked 'Em In the Old Kent Road Wot' Cher Lyrics

Words/Music Albert Chevalier/Charles Ingle


Last week down our alley came a toff

Nice old geezer with a nasty cough

Sees my missus, takes his topper off

In a very gentlemanly way


Wot cher! all the neighbors cried

Who yer gonna meet, Bill

Have yer bought the street, Bill?

Laugh! I thought I should've died

Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road


Ev'ry evenin' at the stroke of five

Me and the missus takes a little drive

You'd say, Wonderful they're still alive

If you saw that little donkey go


When we starts the blessed donkey stops

He won't move, so out I quickly lops

Pals start whackin' him, when down he drops

Someone says he wasn't made to go


Wot cher! all the neighbors cried

Who yer gonna meet, Bill

Have yer bought the street, Bill?

Laugh! I thought I should've died

Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road
