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!!
