There was a boy named Arthur Boyle
Who wasn’t very fond of toil
He hung around the house all day
Roamed by night and slept all day
Chorus:
Back to Wassis he will come
Arthur Boyle a favorite son
Yes back to Wassis he will come
Arthur Boyle a favourite son.
Now Arthur thought he’d work a while
So he went and hired with Ted Carisle
Ted thought Arthur was an awful flirt
When he saw him looking up Laura’s skirt
Arthur thought he’d do some more work
So he got a job with Estabrooks
He picked potatoes till his back was sore
Then drove home with Wallace Moore
Chorus
Arthur decided he needed a trip
He went by car and back by ship
He said he had fun the little fool
On his big trip to Liverpool
Now all of this about Arthur is true
He’s doing the best that he can do
But times are rough and business slack
Arthur Boyle, he will come back
Chorus
