Chorus:

Just down the street there's a rattling sound,
There's a country band playing hand me down.
And it's a jamboree.

It was in my father's father's time, they knew a rolling air,
And the Albion boys will show you how, they sang it everywhere.
And if you come along with us you're numbered as a friend
And the faded flower of England will rise and bloom again.

Just down the street there's a rattling sound,
There's a country band playing hand me down.
And it's a jamboree

The dancers standing three and three are a most illustrious sight;
If someone saw a better one then you surely know he lied.
You can hear the bells a-ringing as the singer calls them on,
They can dance away the night and day and never step it wrong
