[Chorus:]

I'm Jake The Peg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

With My Extra Leg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

Wherever I Go Through Rain And Snow

The People Always Let Me Know

There's Jake The Peg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

With His Extra Leg, Diddle-iddle-iddle



The Day That I Born (oh Boy) My Father Nearly Died

He Couldn't Get My Nappies On, How Matter How He Tried

'Cos I Was Born With An Extra Leg, And Since That Day Begun

I Had To Learn To Stand On My Own Three Feet

Believe Me That's No Fun



[Chorus]



I Had A Dreadful Childhood Really, I S'pose I Shouldn't Moan

Each Time They Had A Three Legged Race, I Won It On Me Own

And Also I Got Popular, When Came The Time For Cricket

They Used To Roll My Trousers Up

And Use Me For The Wicket



[Chorus]



I Was A Dreadful Scholar, I Found All The Lessons Hard

The Only Thing I Knew For Sure, Was Three Feet Make A Yard

To Count To Ten I Used Me Fingers, If I Needed More

By Getting My Shoes And Socks Off

I Could Count To Twenty Four



I'm Jake The [stops To Count]



...to Twenty Five



I'm Jake The Peg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

With My Extra Leg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

Whatever I Did They Said Was False

They Said "quick March" I Did The Quick Waltz

Then They Shouted At Me "put Your Best Foot Forward" - But Which Foot?

I Said "it's Very Fine For You, You Only Got A Choice Of Two"

But Me, I'm Jake The Peg, Diddle-iddle-iddle-um

With The Extra Leg... Diddle-iddle-iddle-um
