the good olde days
« on: September 25, 2003, 09:30:00 am »
they sure don't write songs like this anymore
 
 WURZELS
 
 COMBINE HARVESTER (BRAND NEW KEY)
 
 
 I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
 (ooh aah ooh aah)
 I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet
 (ooh aah ooh aah)
 Now something's telling me
 That you'm avoiding me
 Come on now darling you've got something I need
 
 Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 Come on now let's get together
 In perfect harmony
 I got twenty acres
 An' you got forty-three
 Now I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 
 She made I laugh  ha ha
 
 I'll stick by you, I'll give you all that you need
 We'll 'ave twins and triplets
 I'm a man built for speed
 And you know I'll love you darlin'
 So give me your hand
 But what I want the most
 Is all they acres of land
 
 Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 Come on now let's get together
 In perfect harmony
 I got twenty acres
 An' you got forty-three
 Now I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 
 Ooaah she's a lovely bit of stuff an' all
 
 For seven long years I've been alone in this place
 Eat, sleep, in the kitchen, it's a proper disgrace
 Now if I cleaned it up would you change your mind
 I'll give up drinking scrumpy and that lager and lime
 
 Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 Come on now let's get together
 In perfect harmony
 I got twenty acres
 An' you got forty-three
 Now I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 
 Who loves ya baby ha
 
 Weren't we a grand couple at that last wurzel dance
 I wore brand new gaters and me cordouroy pants
 In your new Sunday dress with your perfume smelling grand
 We had our photos took and us holding hands
 
 Now I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 Now that we'me both past our fifties I think that you and me
 Should stop this galavanting and will you marry me
 Coz I got a brand new combine harvester
 An' I'll give you the key
 
 Aahh yu're a fine looking woman and I can't wait to get me 'ands on your land

Brand new key was originally a hit for someone else, Melanie, as I remember. It formed the basis of the wurzels song.
 
 I like the Melanie version better.

I believe that song is still very popular on the Sunday night karaoke circuit in old blighty.
