"Boy for Sale" by Lionel Bart

(4/4 time. 4 bar intro)

(Mr Bumble)

One boy...boy for sale!

He's going cheap,

Only seven guineas 

That or thereabout.

(Mrs Bumble)

Fine boy...boy for sale!

He's yours to keep

For one thousand pennies

You can work it out.

(Mr Bumble)

If I should say he wasn't very greedy

I could not, I'd be telling you a tale

(Mr and Mrs Bumble)

One boy...boy for sale!

Come take a peep.

Have you ever seen as nice

A boy for sale?
