Now, the other night my friends and I went down to a Music Hall. And ever since that blooming night it has been my downfall. We sat beside the bandsman, and he filled me with delight, The fellow that played the trombone, he stole my heart that night. Chorus With his rum-she-ra-ra, rum-she-ra-ra, rum-she-ra-ra-day, The fellow that played the trombone, he stole my heart away, He pulled that long thing in and out, he made me feel so gay, He really tickled my fancy with his rum-she-ra-ra-day. Now I really liked his music, I go there every week, They said it would be my downfall if I don’t stop my cheek, I’ll take no notice what they say, I’ll go from time to time, And bring that bandsman home and help him make his horn to shine. Now the other night I woke and found he’d gone with all his clothes, He’d gone with all my money, to a land where no-one knows, But if ever I should find him, I’d spoil his afternoon, I’d smash his bloody instrument if I catched him playing a tune.
