Well there is an ancient party
At the other end of town
And he keeps a little grocery store,
Ah the ancient's name is Brown
He has a lovely daughter,
Such a treat I never saw
Oh, I only hope someday to be
The old man's son-in-law.

Old Brown sells from off his shelf
Most anything you please
He's got jew's harps for the little boys,
Lollipops and cheese
His daughter minds the store,
And it's a treat just to see her serve
I'd like to run away with her
But I don't have the nerve.

And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
I wish I was a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or an Earl
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

Well, poor Old Brown now,
Has trouble with the gout,
He grumbles in his little parlour
When he can't get out
Oh, and when I make a purchase, Lord,
And she hands me the change
That girl she makes me pulverised,
I feel so very strange

And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
I wish I was a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or an Earl
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

But Miss Brown she smiles so sweetly
When I say a tender word
Ah, but Old Brown says that she must wed
A Marquis or a Lord,
And I don't suppose it's ever
One of those things I will be
But by jingo next election
I will run for Trinity.

And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
I wish I was a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or an Earl
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
