I Wish They'd Do It Now 
I Wish They'd Do It Now 
I was born of Geordy parents one day when I was young That's how the Geordy language became my native tongue That I was a pretty baby, my mother she would vow The girls all ran to kiss me, well I wish they'd do it now
 Oh, I wish they'd do it now, oh, I wish they'd do it now I've got itches in me britches and I wish they'd do it now 
Well when I was only six months old, the girls would handle me They'd clutch me to their bosoms and they'd bounce me on their
 knees They would rock me in the cradle and if I make a row They'd tickle me, they'd cuddle me, I wish they'd do it now 
At sixteen months as fine a lad as ever could be seen The girls all liked to follow me right down to the green They'd make a chain of buttercups and drop it on my brow Then they'd roll me in the clover, well I wish they'd do it now 
Well the Eastern girls would go with me to swim when it was mild Down to the river we would go and splash about a while They'd throw the water over me, duck me like a cow Then they'd rub me nice all over, oh, I wish they'd do it now 
Well its awful lonely for a lad to live a single life I think I'll go down to the dance tonight and find meself a wife Oh I have got six brindled pigs, likewise one fat sow There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll love me now
