Ee by gum

The Yankee says Gee Wiz
The Scotsman says 'Ood-aye
The Welshman says Indeed You Goodness
Goodness knows just why
In Lancashire and Yorkshire
Ever since the world began
This is the expression of a strong and silent man
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee-ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
And when he goes a courting
And his girl goes Hmm-mm-hmm-mm-mm-mmm
He looks into her eyes and whispers
'Ee-ee-ee-ee By Gum
The Frenchmen say La La
The Irish say Bedad
Os Bobbikins is what they said
When Cromwell was a lad
The Spaniard says Karumba
And the eskimo says Wow
But none of them mean half as much
As what I'm singing now
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
At the Isle of Mann or Blackpool
For a while he lose his chum
When his chum says Wheres Thou Been Lad?
He says 'Ee By Gum
Hee-ee-ee-'Ee By Gum
'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
