[Verse 1]
We are one, two, three jolly lads all in one line
We have come a pace egging and I hope you prove kind
And I hope you prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you until the next year

[Verse 2]
The next that comes in it is Nelson you'll see
With a bunch of blue ribbons tied down to his knee
And a star on his chest like silver does shine
And I hope you'll remember it's pace egging time

[Verse 3]
The next that comes in it is Jolly Jack Tar
He sailed with Lord Nelson during the last war
He has come from the sea old England to view
And he's come a pace egging with our jovial crew

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Oh, the next that comes in it is Lord Collingwood
He fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood
He fought with Lord Nelson through sorrow and woe
And I hope you'll reward him before you do go
[Verse 5]
Then in comes Old Miser with all his brown bags
For fear of his money he wears his old rags
So see what you do, and mind that all's right
If we get naught we'll take naught, farewell and goodnight

[Verse 1]
We are one, two, three jolly lads all in one line
We have come a pace egging and I hope you prove kind
And I hope you prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you until the next year
And I hope you prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you until the next year
