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
