Down at the Old Bull and Bush



Down at the Old Bull and Bush is a British music hall song, usually sung by the performers and the audience, at the end of each show.

=History= The song is an adaptation of Under the Anheuser Bush, a popular beer garden song commissioned by the Anheuser-Busch brewing company in 1903, with music by Harry Von Tilzer and words by Andrew B. Sterling. The title contains a pun on the surname of one of the company's founders.

The British version, written for Florrie Forde and made popular by her, took it's name from a north London public house, which is now a Grade II-listed landmark with a bar named in Forde's honor.

=Lyrics= Come, come, come and make eyes at me, down at the old bull and bush

Come, come, drink some port wine with me, down at the old bull and bush

Hear the little German band da-da-da-da-da-da-da

just let me hold your hand, dear

Do, do, come and have a drink or two, down at the old bull and bush

Come, come, come and make eyes at me, down at the old bull and bush

Come, come, drink some port wine with me, down at the old bull and bush

Hear the little German band da-da-da-da-da-da-da

just let me hold your hand, dear

Do, do, come and have a drink or two, down at the old bull and bush

Come, come, come and make eyes at me, down at the old bull and bush

Come, come, drink some port wine with me, down at the old bull and bush

Hear the little German band da-da-da-da-da-da-da

just let me hold your hand, dear

Do, do, come and have a drink or two, down at the old bull and bush

Do, do, come and have a drink or two, down at the old bull and bush
