Bedlam Bards Crayfish lyrics

Fisherman, fisherman, 'fore you put to sea.
Do have a crayfish, that you would sell to me,
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
Yes sir, yes sir, now that indeed I do,
I've got a little crayfish I'd gladly to sell to you,
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
So I took him home and I thought he'd like to swim
So I filled up the chamber pot, and I threw the bugger in,
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
In the middle of the night, sure I thought I'd have a fit,
When my dear wife got up for to ( wash her face ),
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
Oh husband, oh husband, she cried out to me,
The devil's in the chamber pot, and he's got hold of me,
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
Children, children, grab the looking glass,

come and see the crayfish that's bit your mother's ( face ),
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
Children, children, now did you hear the grunt,
Come and see the crayfish that bit your mother's ( nose ),
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.

Children, children, let me tell you what,
Come and see the crayfish that bit your mother's ( ear ),
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
Well, that's all there is, and there isn't any more,
I've an apple in me pocket, and you can have the core,
By the wayside, Aye - Diddily - Di - Do.
