Postman's Knock
example of a song dance from Adderbury
Chorus:
Every morning as true as the clock, somebody hears the postman's knock
Every morning as true as the clock, somebody hears the postman's knock
Verse for Foot Up and Half Gip:
A wonderful man the postman is, he travels from door to door
A medley of news his hands contain for everyone rich or poor;
On every face a joy he can trace, on many a grief he can see,
Just open the door to his ratatatat and his rapid delivery
Chorus:
Verse for Half Gip and Foot Down:
At 1 he presents the news of a birth, and tidings of death number 4
At 13 a bill of terrible length he drops through a hole in the door;
A cheque or an order at 15 he leaves while 16 his presence doth prove
At 17 doth an acknowledgement get an 18 a letter of love
Chorus:
