I Wish They'd Do It Now Lyrics

Chorus: I wish they'd do it now, I wish they'd do it now I'm a little older, I wish they'd do it now I I was born of Scottish parents one day when I was young That's why the Scottish accent is my native tongue I was a pretty baby, my mother she did vow The girls all ran to kiss me - I wish they'd do it now II At eighteen months, as fine a lad as ever you could see The ladies loved to dandle me, dance me on their knees They'd rock me in my cradle if I made a row They'd run to me and cuddle me - I wish they'd do it now III At two years old, as fine a lad as ever could be seen The girls would all follow me when I went to the green They'd make a chain of buttercups, place it on my brow And they'd roll me in the clover - I wish they'd do it now IV The girls next door would call for me if the weather it was mild They'd take me to the river, splash around awhile They'd throw the water over me, dry me with a towel Then they'd rub me nice all over - I wish they'd do it now V Now I'm a fat folksinger, I live all alone No nagging wife, no noisy kids for me when I get home It's so quiet and so peaceful, I'm better off I think If I can't get the women I can always get a drink Last Chorus: And I think I'll get one now, I think I'll get one now I can always get a drink, I think I'll get one now
