Junction 9 Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 Although it sounds like earwig o, it's actually "Here we go" that is sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 EARWIG O (Les Barker) Little Mrs Earwig, she had a little son. She called the baby Earwig A, for he was number one. The second she called Earwig B. Earwig C came next. D and E soon followed, then F as you'd expect. G and H were subsequent. I and J came then. K, L and M were triplets, but who followed Earwig N? Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O. In the Insects league cup final, he gave the crowd a treat. He gave the stick insects some stick. Earwig O could not be beat-o. His first goal was a header, and his second sewed it up. His third made it a hat-trick. Epsom Earwigs won the cup! All the grasshoppers were chanting, all the spiders hand in hand in hand in hand in hand in hand in hand in hand, As they sung the Earwig anthem, and it echoed round the stand: Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O. Little Mrs Earwig, I wonder if you know That your fifteenth little offspring is the famous Earwig O? "Earwig O" they sing at Wembley, "Earwig O" at White Hart Lane, At the Oval, and Old Trafford, "Earwig O Wig O" again. "Earwig O" they chant at Chelsea, and the Royal Albert Hall. Some talk of Alexander Beetle, but the greatest of them all... Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O. Little Mrs Earwig, does it fill your heart with joy? When they sing about your son-o, do you whisper "That's my boy"? Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O. Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O. Just transcribed from a tape of the BBC Radio 2 programme 'Mrs Ackroyd Explores Her Roots' from about 10 years ago! I always knew they'd come in useful sometime, if I kept them long enough!
