Just a week or two ago
me 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 watch and chain"
I put it on
right across my vest
thought I looked a dandy
as it dangled on my 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
a 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?
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
a 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 shan't forget when
I got married to
Selina Brown
The way the 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 me chain
on my Darby Kell
The sun was shinin' on it
and it made me
look a swell
The organ started playing
and the bells began to ring
my 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
a 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?
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
a 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?
