I’m alive like a man from Cornwall.
Got my pasty and I got my surfboard
Got my artist pallet under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
With my straw boater on my head
I glance at the ladies filing by the road
then I go and have a taste of the beer brewed just down the road
Oh!
I’m a happy, happy man from Cornwall
I got my pasty and I got my surfboard
Got my artists pallet under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
I go visit the local inn where I happen to know who running it
We have a drink at the bar and play man tricks on each other
There is no clear winner cause were both drinkers and sinners
Oh!
I’m a happy, happy man from Cornwall
I got my pasty and I got my surfboard
Got an artists pallet under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
It’s only a few weeks since my old mum had died
Never before did I wish so much to cry for the memory
of one of nature’s finest ho’s Friend and conqueror of foes
Oh!
I’m….a…Happy, happy man from Cornwall
I got my pallet and I got my surfboard
Got an artists pasty under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
Oh I don’t get the ones who are running this Europe
Seems like the left hand don’t know the right hand is robbing
some of the countries dry while allowing others to make hay
Oh!
I’m an unhappy, unhappy man from Cornwall
They got me on the brain and they got me by the balls
If there’s any justice which there ain’t,
them that steal should be covered in paint
for others to see who those stealing folk be.
Oh!
There is a story of an old man in an old, old town
He knows everyone, Sure he has been around
And everyone is his friend and enemies nor has he
And why do we say ‘We know the length of his nose’
Oh! I’m a happy, happy man from Cornwall
I got my pasty and I got my surfboard
I got my artists pallet under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
Oh! I’m a happy happy man from Cornwall
I got my pasty and I got my surfboard
I got my artists pallet under my sack
and directions to the best brewery in town in my hat!
