Generate meaning
1
There is an ancient party at the other end of town
2
And he keeps a little grocery store, the ancients name is Brown
3
And he has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw
4
Oh I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.
5
Well, Old Brown he sells from off his shelf most anything you please
6
He's got juice tarts for the little boys, lollipops and cheese
7
And his daughter minds the store, and it's a treat just to see her serve
8
I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve
9
[Chorus:]
10
And it's old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
11
Old Brown's daughter is a fair as any pearl
12
I wish I were a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or and Earl
13
And blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.
14
Blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.
15
Wel, l poor old Brown now has trouble with the gout,
16
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out
17
Oh and when I make a purchase, lord, and she hands me the change
18
That girl she makes pulverized, I feel so very strangechorus
19
But Miss Brown she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word
20
Ah but old brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord,
21
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be
22
But by jingo next election I will run for Trinity
23
[Chorus:]
