The Drummer And The Cook-Harry Belafonte/Studio Chorus/Studio Orchestra/Alan Greene

Oh, there was a little drummer and he loved a one-eyed cook He loved her oh, he loved her though she had a cock-eyed look With her one eye on the pot and the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow And this couple went a courtin' for to walk along the shore Said the drummer to the cookie "You're the girl that I adore" With her one eye on the pot and the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow Said the drummer to the cookie "Will you name the wedding day?" Said the cookie "We'll be married in the merry month of May" With her one eye on the pot and the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow Said the drummer to the cookie "Will you buy the wedding ring?" Said the cookie "Now you're talkin' that would be the very thing" With her one eye on the pot and the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow When they went to church to say I will the drummer got a shock For her one eye killed the parson and the other stopped the clock With her one eye on the pot and the other up the chimney with a bow wow wow Fa la la la la dee dee bow wow wow
