LYRICS:

Well as hed often done before
My neighbour from next door
One fine summers day went out
To the shops to walk about

And as he found it hot poor fella
He took with him his green umbrella
When Edward noisy little wag
He came out and waved his flag

And William came in jacket trim
And brought his wooden hoop with him
And Arthur brought his toys
And joined the other bully boys
Well those silly bully boys
They lost all their toys

Well tall Agrippa lives close by
So tall he almost touched the sky
He was giant through and through
He was giant through and through

He called out in an angry tone
To leave my neighbour alone
But they didnt mind a bit
What tall Agrippa said of it

Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys

Well tall Agrippa foamed with rage
Just look at him on this very page
He seizes Arthur seizes Ned
He smashes all their tiny heads

Then they dont scream and they dont call
They are corpses one and all
Three little corpses one two three
Theyre all as dead as can be

Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys
Well those silly bully boys
Because Agrippa they annoyed
Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys
Silly bully boys
Because Agrippa they annoyed

@themightytim1 The book is Shockheaded Peter, with new illustrations and lyrics adapted by Martyn Jacques for the stage play.

The Bully Boys story is changed somewhat by Martyn, the original is called Inky Boys.
