Bring 'Em on In
Them Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spoken:
All these wise guys trying to put us down
We gonna bring 'em on in
An' bring 'em on home

Sings:
See them stumbling by the way side
See them stumbling by the way side
Though it won't sail, 'cross the water, yeah
Row-in boats a-cross the water
Pick them up baby, row them on
Bring 'em on in, bring 'em on home

Well, I was driving, in my Jag-you-are
Do-in' ninety miles an hour
I was driving up a clear way
It was just my luckiest day
An I, kept speed up
An I, rowed these boats
A-bring 'em on in
A-bring 'em on in

Bi-do-a, di-do-a, di-do-a-do

Now, I went walking down by Queensway
When I met a friend of mine
He said, "Come on back, back to my pad
We will have a nice time
If you pick me up, row me on
Bring me in, bring me in

When I stepped off the boat
And I walked upon the, dry land
Slowly, to the car park
And I jumped in, out of my mind
Out of my mind
Bring 'em in, bring 'em on in, bring 'em in

Ay-o-lotta, o-li-otta, o-li-otta, o-li-otta
O-li-otta, o-ah

Bring 'em in baby, bring 'em on in
Hey-hey now
Bring 'em on home
Bring 'em in, hey-hey-hey
Bring 'em on home, all right
Bring 'em on home

I said, pick me up, baby
Row me home, bring me in, hey

Bi-do-a, i-o-le, o-le-a, o-le-a
O-la-te-do-da-la
Alright





Bi-oh-da-e-da-ee-da-o-a-la
Alright
