Buy a Broom Lyrics

Lyrics by Unknown

From Teutchland I came with my light wares all laden,
To dear happy England in summer’s gay bloom
Then listen fair Lady, and young pretty maiden,
Oh! buy of the wand’ring Bavarian, a Broom,
Buy a broom, buy a Broom, (SPOKEN) buy a Broom
Oh! buy of the wand’ring Bavarian a Broom,

To brush away insects that sometimes annoy you,
You’ll find it quite handy to use night and day,
And what better exercise pray can employ you,
Than to sweep all vexatious intruders away,
Ere winter comes on for sweet home departing,
My toils for your favor again I’ll resume,
And while gratitude’s tears in my eye-lids are starting,
Bless the time that in England I cried buy a Broom
