[Chorus:]
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump,
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump.
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump,
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump.
[Lurcher:]
They've batter'd my hat and they've ruined my clothes,
They've pulled out my hair, and assaulted my nose,
Each bone in my body has suffered a wrench,
And look at the writ of the Court of Queen's Bench,
Each bone in my body has suffered a wrench,
And look at the writ of the Court of Queen's Bench,
Look at the writs,
Torn into bits.
[Chorus:]
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump,
Under the pump,
Under the pump,
Over the brook with a kick and a jump,
[Tenors:]
We'll teach him his letters to grind and oppress,
By serving upon them a writ of distress,
[Chorus:]
He's frightened and bullied a helpless old wench,
And we don't care a rap for the Court of Queen's Bench,
He's frightened and bullied a helpless old wench,
And we don't care a rap for the Court of Queen's Bench,
And we don't care a rap for the Court of Queen's Bench.
