Lyrics

I'm Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
Wherever I go
Through rain or snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dee
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 the extra leg
And since that day began
I had to learn to stand on my own three feet
Believe me, that's no fun
I'm Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
Wherever I go
Through rain or snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dee
I had a dreadful childhood, really
I suppose I shouldn't moan
Each time they had a three-legged race
I won it on me own
And also I got popular
When came the time for cricket
They used to roll my trousers up
And use me for their wickets
I'm Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
Wherever I go
Through rain or snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dee
I was a dreadful scholar
I found all the lessons hard
The only thing I know 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
To twenty-five
I'm Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
Whatever I did, they said was false
They said a quick march, I did a quick waltz
Then they shouted at me, "Put your best foot forward"
"But which foot?" I said
"It's very fine for you
You've only got the choice of two"
But me?
I'm Jake the Peg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
With me extra leg
Deedle deedle deedle dum
