FATHER HAD A KNIFE

(trad. /
from a recording by Will Duke and Dan Quinn
via the Vox Hunters and Andy Davis
with additional verse from Matt Norman)

Father had a knife, 
mother had a fork,
Sister had a bottle, 
and brother had a cork

    We had a cut from the knife, 
    a dig from the fork,
    A drink from the bottle, 
    and we bunged it with the cork

	So the longer we go on, 
	the merrier we will be
	As we adapt 
	to life in quarantine
	So the longer we go on, 
	the merrier we will be
	As we adapt 
	to life in quarantine

	(orig: We do belong 
	to a boozy family)

O, father had a horse, 
mother had a mare,
Sister had a rabbit, 
and brother had a hare

    We had a ride on the horse, 
    a ride on the mare,
    A pie from the rabbit, 
    and a race with the hare

	So the longer ...

O, father had a bull, 
mother had a cow,
Sister had a pig, 
and brother had a sow

    We had the beef from father's bull, 
    the milk from mother's cow,
    The pork from sister's pig, 
    and the pig from brother's sow

	So the longer ...

O, father had a cock, 
mother had a hen,
Sister had a robin, 
and brother had a wren

    We had a fight from the cock, 
    eggs from the hen
    Chicks from the robin, 
    and we hunted down the wren

	So the longer ...

O, father had a louse, 
mother had a flea,
Sister had a bottle, 
and brother had the tea

    We had a scratch from the louse, 
    a bite from the flea,
    A drink from the bottle, 
    and he's gone and lost the tea

	So the longer ...

O, father had some feet, 
mother had a car,
Sister had a bicycle, 
and brother had a bar

    We had a walk on the feet, 
    a drive in the car,
    A ride on the bicycle, 
    and we finished in the bar

	So the longer ...

O, father had a tree, 
mother had a dog,
Sister had an orchestra, 
and brother had a log

    We had some bark from the tree, 
    a bark from the dog,
    Some Bach from the orchestra, 
    and we all slept like the log

	So the longer ...
