Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West) - Jukebox Junctions[00:00:00]
You could hear the hoof beats pound[00:00:05]
As they raced across the ground[00:00:06]
And the clatter of the wheels as they[00:00:09]
Spun round and round[00:00:10]
And he galloped into market street[00:00:12]
His badge upon his chest[00:00:14]
His name was Ernie[00:00:15]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:00:17]
Now Ernie loved a widow a lady known as Sue[00:00:21]
She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number twenty two[00:00:24]
They said she was too good for him[00:00:28]
She was haughty proud and chic[00:00:30]
But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week[00:00:32]
They called him Ernie Ernie[00:00:36]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:00:40]
She said she'd like to bathe in milk he said[00:00:43]
All right sweetheart[00:00:46]
And when he'd finished work[00:00:47]
One night he loaded up his cart[00:00:49]
He said do you want it pasturize[00:00:51]
'Cause pasturize is best[00:00:53]
She says[00:00:55]
Ernie I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest[00:00:55]
That tickled old Ernie Ernie[00:00:59]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:01:02]
Woo[00:01:06]
Now Ernie had a rival an evil-looking man[00:01:08]
Called Two-Ton Ted from[00:01:12]
Teddington and he drove the baker's van[00:01:13]
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and[00:01:16]
His tasty wholemeal bread[00:01:18]
When she seen the size of his hot meat[00:01:20]
Pies it very near turned her head[00:01:22]
She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said[00:01:24]
If you treat me right[00:01:27]
You'll have hot rolls every morning[00:01:28]
And crumpets every night[00:01:30]
He knew once she sampled his layer[00:01:32]
Cake he'd have his wicked way[00:01:34]
But all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk each day[00:01:36]
Poor Ernie Ernie[00:01:40]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:01:44]
Woo[00:01:47]
One lunch time Ted saw[00:01:49]
Ernie's horse and cart outside her door[00:01:50]
And It drove him mad to find it was[00:01:53]
Still there at half past four[00:01:55]
And as he lept down from his van[00:01:57]
Hot blood through his veins did course[00:01:59]
And he went across to[00:02:01]
Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his orse[00:02:02]
Whose name was Trigger Trigger[00:02:05]
And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west[00:02:08]
Now Ernie rushed out into the street[00:02:12]
His gold top in his hand[00:02:14]
He said If you wanna marry[00:02:16]
Susie you'll fight for her like a man[00:02:17]
Oh why don't we play cards for her[00:02:20]
He sneeringly replied[00:02:22]
And just to make it interesting[00:02:23]
We'll have a shilling on the side[00:02:25]
Now Ernie dragged him from[00:02:28]
His van and beneath the blazing sun[00:02:30]
They stood there face to face[00:02:32]
And Ted went for his bun[00:02:34]
But Ernie was too quick[00:02:36]
Things didn't go the way Ted planned[00:02:37]
And a strawberry-flavoured[00:02:40]
Yogurt sent it spinning from his hand[00:02:41]
Now Susie ran between them[00:02:44]
And tried to keep them apart[00:02:46]
And Ernie pushed her aside[00:02:48]
And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart[00:02:50]
And he looked up in pained[00:02:52]
Surprise and the concrete hardened crust[00:02:54]
Of a stale pork pie[00:02:56]
Caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust[00:02:57]
Poor Ernie Ernie[00:03:00]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:03:04]
Now Ernie was only fifty chird he didn't wanna die[00:03:08]
And now he's gone to make deliveries[00:03:12]
In that milk round in the sky[00:03:14]
Where the customers are angels[00:03:16]
And ferocious dogs are banned[00:03:18]
And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy[00:03:20]
Dairy land[00:03:23]
But a woman's needs are many fold[00:03:25]
And soon she married Ted[00:03:27]
But strange things happened on their wedding[00:03:29]
Night as they lay in their bed[00:03:31]
Was that the trees a-rustling[00:03:33]
Or the hinges of the gate[00:03:35]
Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate[00:03:37]
They won't forget Ernie Ernie[00:03:41]
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west[00:03:45]
