ROLL YOUR LEG OVER

I WISH ALL YOUNG GIRLS WERE LIKE:
BELLS IN THE TOWER,
AND I WAS A BELLMAN,
I'D BANG THEM EACH HOUR.

CHORUS:
OH, ROLL YOUR LEG OVER,
OH, ROLL YOUR LEG OVER,
OH, ROLL YOUR LEG OVER,
THE MAN IN THE MOON.

LITTLE GREY RABBITS,
IF I WERE THE HARE,
I'D TEACH THEM BAD HABITS.

CHORUS:

LIKE FISH IN A POOL
AND I WERE A SHARK,
WITH A WATERPROOF TOOL,
LIKE A FISH IN THE OCEAN,
IF I WERE A WHALE,
I'D SHOW THEM THE MOTIONS.

CHORUS:

LIKE WISCONSIN CREWS,
IF I WERE THEIR SKIPPER.
I'D FILL THEM WITH BOOZE.
