Now some say hopping's lousy, I don't believe it's true For we only go down hopping to earn a bob or two With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Oh when I went a-hopping, hopping down in Kent I saw old mother Riley a-sweeping out her tent With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Now every Monday morning just at six o'clock You'll hear the old hoppers calling, 'Get up and boil your pots' With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Now Sunday is our washing day, don't we wash it clean We boil it in our hopping pots and hang it on the green With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o 'Well, do you want any money?', 'Yes, sir, if you please To buy a hock of bacon and a pound of mouldy cheese' With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Now here comes our old measurer with his long nose and chin With his ten-gallon basket and don't he pop 'em in With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Now when our old pole-puller he does come around He says 'Come on, you dirty old hop-pickers, pick 'em up all off the ground' With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Now hopping is all over, all the money's spent And don't I wished I never went a-hopping down in Kent With my tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Oh I say one, I say two, no more hopping shall I do Tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o Well I say one, I say two, no more hopping shall I do Tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o I say one, I say two, no more hopping shall I do Tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o And I say one, I say two, no more hopping shall I do Tee-i-o, tee-i-o, tee-i-ee-i-o
