Any Old Iron
Misc Traditional
Traditional 'old time' cockney music hall sing along.
Being from 'oop North I don't understand some of the words!

Just a week or two ago my poor old Uncle Bill
Went and kicked the bucket and he left me in his Will
The other day I popped around to see poor Auntie Jane
She said your Uncle Bill has left to you a old watch and chain
I put it on right across me vest
Thought I looked a dandy as it dangled on me chest
Just to flash it off I started walking round about
A lot of kiddies followed me and all began to shout

Any old iron any old iron any any any old iron
You look neat talk about a treat

You look dapper from your napper to your feet
Dressed in style brand new tile
And your father's old green tie on
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
Old iron old iron   

I went to the city once and I thought I'd have a spree
The Mayor of London he was there that's who I came to see
He dashed up at a canter in a carriage and a pair
I shouted Holler boys and threw my hat up in the air
Just then the Mayor he began to smile
Saw my face and then he shouted Lummy what a dial
Started Lord Mayoring an' I thought that I should die
When pointing to my watch and chain and he hollered to me Hi

Any old iron any old iron any any any old iron
You look neat talk about a treat

You look dapper from your napper to your feet
Dressed in style brand new tile
And your father's old green tie on
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
Old iron old iron   

Just to have a little bit of fun the other day
Made up in my watch and chain I went and drew my pay
Then got out with a lot of other colonels on the loose
I got full right up to here in fourp'ny stagger juice
One of them said we want a pot of ale
Run him to the rag shop and we'll bung him on the scale
I heard the fellow say what's in this bundle that you've got
Then whisper to me kindly do you want to lose your lot

Any old iron any old iron any any any old iron
You look neat talk about a treat

You look dapper from your napper to your feet
Dressed in style brand new tile
And your father's old green tie on
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
Old iron old iron   

Shan't forget when I got married to Selena Brown
The way that people laughed at me it made me feel a clown
I began to wonder when their dials began to crack
If by mistake I'd got my Sunday trousers front to back
I wore my chain on me Darby-kel
The sun was shining on it and made me look a swell
The organ started playing and the bells began to ring
Me chain began to rattle so the choir began to sing

Any old iron any old iron any any any old iron
You look neat talk about a treat

You look dapper from your napper to your feet
Dressed in style brand new tile
And your father's old green tie on
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
Old iron old iron
