letra de strawberry fair - anthony newley

strawberries. ripe strawberries
as i was going to strawberry fair
singing, singing, b-tter-cups and daisies
i met a maiden selling her wares
fol-de-dee!
her eyes were blue and she was fair
and she rode on a donkey to strawberry fair
ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-li-do
ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-dee
“would you like to pick from my basket!” she said
singing, singing, b-tter-cups and daisies
“my cherries ripe, or my roses red”
fol-de-dee!
you can take a handful, i don’t care
as i go on to strawbеrry fair.”

ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-li-do
ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddlе-dee

so i said to this bird

your cherries soon will go mouldy and bad
singing, singing b-ttercups and wotsits
your roses wither and look all sad
fol-de-dee
now it’s not to buy such perishing ware
that i am slogging it to strawberry fair
oh, ri-fol, ri-fol, come and get an earful
ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-dee

i told her straight

i want a girl with a generous heart
singing, singing, b-tter-cups and oojahs
without a tongue that is wicked or smart
fol-de-dee!

and an honest mind, but these are rare
i doubt if i’ll find them at this crummy old fair
ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-li-do
ri-fol, well, you know the rest, don’t you

so i put it to her straight

now in return for these virtues, i swear
knees up, knees up, come and have a knees up
i’ll give you a ring for your finger my dear
fol-de-dee!
so make me your partner and give me a share
in church today at strawberry fair
now, ri-fol, ri-fol, tol-de-riddle-li-do
ri-fol, ri-fol
strawberries. shan’t be round tomorrow
the donkey’s pinched all the strawberries
hee-hee-hee-hee
