Up at Piccadilly Oh!
Up at Piccadilly oh!
The coachman takes his stand,
And when he meets a pretty girl,
He takes her by the hand.
Whip away for ever oh!
Drive away so clever oh!
All the way to Bristol oh!
He drives her four-in-hand*.
Notes
*To drive her four-in-hand means he drives her with a horse drawn vehicle that has 4 horses and is only driven by one person.
