CHORUS

And we're all in the wee room, underneath the stair,

Ev’rybody’s happy, ev’rybody’s there,

An’ we’re all makin’ merry, each in his chair,

Doon in the wee room, underneath the stair.

When you're tired and weary and you're feeling blue

Don't give way to sorrow, I'll tell you what to do

Just tak' a trip to Redfern and find Arcadia there

And go doon to the wee room underneath the stair

 

CHORUS

 

The king went oot a-hunting, his fortune for to seek

He missed his train at Bondi, went missing for a week

Oh after days of searching, of sorrow and despair

They found him in the wee room underneath the stair

 

CHORUS

 

When your team has won the day and you want to cheer

Get yourself tae Redfern, and order up a beer

Hae yersel' a bevvy, find yersel' a chair

Doon in the wee room underneath the stair

 

CHORUS

 

When I'm auld and feeble and my bones are gettin' set

Ah'll no get cross and grumpy like other people get

Ah'm savin' up ma bawbees tae buy a hurly chair

To tak' me to the wee room underneath the stair
