I'm a Bit of a Ruin

Melody - Harry Bedford and Terry Sullivan, 1920

I'm a bit of a ruin that Cromwell knocked about a bit,
One that Oliver Cromwell knocked about a bit.
In the gay old days, there used to be some doings.
No wonder that the poor old abbey went to ruins.
Those who study hist'ry sing and shout of it,
And you can bet your life there isn't a doubt of it.
Outside the Oliver Cromwell last Saturday night
I was one of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit.
