Pace-Egging Song
A Cappella Arrangement for SAT - £1.50
links to other lyrics (some with chords)


Here's one, two, three jolly lads all in one line. 
We are come a-pace-egging and we hope you'll
prove kind. 
And we hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and
strong beer. 
For we'll come no more nigh you until the next year.

And the first that comes in is Lord Nelson you see. 
With a bunch of blue ribbons tied round by his knee. 
And the star on his breast and like silver does shine,
And I hope he remembers it's pace-egging time!

And the next that comes in it is Lord Collinwood,
And he fought with Lord Nelson 'til he shed
his blood. 
And he's come from the sea, all England to view,
And he's come a-pace-egging with all of his crew!

And the last that comes in is old Tolspot you'll see. 
He's a valiant old man (but he's never been to sea!)
He's a valiant old man and he wears a pigtail,
And all his delight is in drinking strong ale!

Come ladies and gentlemen sit by the fire. 
Put your hands in your pockets and give us
our desire. 
Put your hands in your pockets and treat us allright. 
If you'll give not we'll take nought, farewell
and goodnight!
