THE ANNIE SHANTY!
To the tune of “What shall we do with a drunken sailor”
What shall we do with an Annies dancer?
Get her dressed up in a stripey T-shirt
Red and black socks , don’t forget the waistcoat
And red clogs with bells on!
Chorus
Hooray and up she rises
Get those knees up while we’re ranting
Keep on going though we’re puffing and panting
In red clogs with bells on!
What shall we do – let’s begin with Tingley
Rope Walk, Jack’s Rant then a Preston?
Could we try a Polka Dot, maybe not
In red clogs with bells on!
Chorus
What shall we do if it all goes wrong?
Got in a muddle, carry on, keep smiling
No-one will notice if we’re lucky
In red clogs with bells on!
Chorus
What shall we do now the dancing’s finished?
All worn out, sore feet – oh dear…
Find a good pub for a well-earned beer
In red clogs with bells on!
Chorus…
With thanks to M and M for writing and performing!!
