lyrics

Take Me Out in Your Old Bread Van
Take me out in your old bread van, in your old bread van Be my man
Make me a ring from an old tin can, an old tin can
Be my man

We’ll get married in the morning
I’ve loved you since you came a-courting With an old tin can, in your old bread van Be my man

I dream of a family of five young things, of five young things Be my man
Clinging onto my apron strings, my apron strings
Be my man

It’s the first day of April
But there’s no fools at this table
Just an old tin can, and your old bread van
Be my man

1-2-3 and 4 and 5 and once I caught a man alive
1-2-3 and 4 and 5 and once I caught a man alive
1-2-3 and 4 and 5 and once I caught a man alive
1-2-3 and 4 and 5 and once I caught a man alive

Now it ’s many years since we’ve been wed, we’ve been wed You’ve been my man
We’ve worked hard and kept us fed, kept us fed
Been my man

When I wake up in the morning
I know why I let you come a-courting With an old tin can, in your old bread van Been my man
