I was born of Geordie parents, one day when I was young,
That's how the Geordie dialect became me native tongue;
Oh I was a pretty baby, me mother she'd allow,
The girls all ran to kiss me, oh I wish they'd do it now.
Oh I wish they'd do it now, oh I wish they'd do it now,
I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now.
When I was only six months old the girls would handle me,
They'd hug me to their bosoms and they'd dance me on their knee;
They'd take me to their bosoms, and when I made a row,
They'd take me in to sleep with them, I wish they'd do that now.
Oh I wish they'd do it now, oh I wish they'd do it now,
I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now.
At sixteen years as fine a lad as you have ever seen,
They'd take me down to the ground and play on the village green;
They would roll me in the clover when I'd take a bow,
I wish they'd roll me over, oh I wish they'd do it now.
Oh I wish they'd do it now, oh I wish they'd do it now,
I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now.
Oh the Eastern girls would call for me to swim when it was mild,
They'd take me to the river and we'd splash about awhile;
They'd throw the water over me and treat me like a yow,
They'd rub me nice all over, oh I wish they'd do it now.
Oh I wish they'd do it now, oh I wish they'd do it now,
I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now.
It's awfully lonely for a lad to lead a single life,
I think I'll go to the fair today and find meself a wife;
Me portion is six brindle pigs, likewise one big fat sow.
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll have me now.
Oh I wish they'd do it now, oh I wish they'd do it now,
I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now.
