Talk about the shade of the sheltering palm Praise the bamboo tree with it's wide spreading charm There's a little nook down near old Hampstead Town You know the place it has one great renown Often with my sweetheart on a bright summers day To the little pub there my footsteps will stray If she hesitates when she looks at the sign Promptly I whisper now do not decline Come come come and make eyes at me Down at the Old Bull and Bush la la la la lah Come come drink some port wine with me Down at the Old Bull and Bush Hear the little German Band da da da da da da dah Just let me hold your hand dear Do do come and have a drink or two Down at the Old Bull and Bush In the little parlour on a cold winters night All is very clear both so sunny and so bright Nell looks at me now but not with a frown She would not change with the queen and her crown It was there I first met the joy of my life She gave me her troth and she's now my dear wife Her eyes always glisten when she sees the old sign So all of you join in a glass of good wine So come come come and make eyes at me Down at the Old Bull and Bush la la la la lah Come come drink some port wine with me Down at the Old Bull and Bush Hear the little German Band da da da da da da dah Just let me hold your hand dear Do do come and have a drink or two Down at the Old Bull and Bush Bush Bush
