Notes: According to an<br>
off-handed note in Hugill,<br>
this song is a soldiers' song, popular during World War II. The<br>
rhyming, melody and rhythm probably have stayed the same over the years,<br>
but it seems like it's too tempting to change a verse or two in this song<br>
for all the words to have stayed true. If you know of other versions,<br>
please let us know.<br>
We've tried it once or twice<br>
And found it rather nice<br>
Chorus:<br>
Roll me over lay me down and do it again<br>
Roll me over in the clover, roll me over lay me down and do it again<br>
Oh this is number one<br>
And the fun has just begun<br>
Oh this is number two,<br>
Down in front he's comin through<br>
Oh this is number three<br>
And his hand is on me knee<br>
Oh this is number four<br>
And he's been there twice before<br>
Oh this is number five<br>
I'm surprised I'm still alive<br>
Oh this is number six,<br>
And he's got me doin tricks<br>
Well this is number seven,<br>
And he took me straight to heaven<br>
Oh this is number eight,<br>
He bent me o'er the garden gate<br>
Oh this is number nine,<br>
And the baby's doin fine<br>
Oh this is number ten,<br>
And when he's through we'll do it again<br>
Oh this is number eleven<br>
and it's just like number seven<br>
