Harry Belafonte - The Drummer And The Cook

Oh, there was a little drummer
And he loved a one-eyed cook
He loved her oh, he loved her though
He 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
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.
