Lyrics

I'm Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With my extra leg
Did a little, little lump
Wherever I go, through rain and snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With an extra leg
Did a little, little lump
The day that I was born, oh boy
My father nearly died
He couldn't get my nappies on
No matter how he tried
'Cause I was born with an extra leg
And since that day begun
I had to learn to stand on my own three feet
Believe me, that's no fun
I'm Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With my extra leg
Did a little, little lump
Wherever I go, through rain and snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With an extra leg
Did a little, little lump
I had a dreadful childhood, really
I suppose I shouldn't moan
Each time there was a three-legged race
I won it on my own
And oh so I got popular
Then came the time for cricket
They used to roll my trousers up
And use me for the wicket
I'm Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With my extra leg
Did a little, little lump
Wherever I go, through rain and snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With an extra leg
Did a little, little lump
I was a dreadful scholar
I found all the lessons hard
The only thing I knew for sure
Was three feet make a yard
To count to ten I used my fingers
If I needed more
By getting my shoes and socks off
I could count to twenty-four
I'm Jake the...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four
Count to twenty-five
I'm Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With my extra leg
Did a little, little lump
Whatever I did they said was fault
They said, "Quick march" and I did a quick waltz
Then they shouted at me, "Put your best foot forward"
"But which foot?" I say, "It's very fine for you
You only got a choice of two"
But me, I'm Jake the Peg
Did a little, little lump
With an extra leg
