Here are the robbers coming through
Coming through, coming through
Here are the robbers coming through
My fair lady
What did the robbers do on you
Do on you, do on you?
What did the robbers do on you?
My fair lady?
They stole my watch and broke my chain
Broke my chain, broke my chain
They stole my watch and broke my chain
My fair lady
Up to jail you must go
You must go, you must go
Up to jail you must go
My fair lady.
