I was born of Jordy parents
One day when I was young
That's how the Jordy dialect become my native toung
That I was a pretty baby me mother, she would vow
The girls all ran to kiss me
Well, I wish they'd do it now.

Chorus:
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
I've got itches in me britches
and I wish they'd do it now.

Well, when I was only six months old the girls would handle me
They'd clutch me to their bossoms and they'd bonce me on their knee
They would rock me in the cradle and if I made a rau
They'd tickle me, they'd cuddle me - I wish they'd do it now.

Chorus:
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
I've got itches in me britches
and I wish they'd do it now.

Well, at sixteen months as fine a lad as ever could be seen
The girls all liked to follow me right down to the green
They would make a chain of buttercups and drop it on me brow
Then they'd roll me in the clover well, I wish they'd do it now.

Chorus:
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
I've got itches in me britches
and I wish they'd do it now.

Well, the eastern girls would call for me to swim when it was mild
Down to the river we would go and splash about a while
They would through the water over me and duck me like a cow
Then they'd rub me nice all over, well, I wish they'd do it now.

Chorus:
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
Oh, I wish they'd do it now.
I've got itches in me britches
and I wish they'd do it now.

Well, it's awful lonely for a lad to lead a single life-
I think I'll go to the dance tonight and find myself a wife
Oh, I have got six bundle pigs, likewise one big fat sow
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll have me now.

For the girl who'll have me now
For the girl who'll have me now
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll have me now.
