Verse
C#
You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,
A#m
And the clatter of the wheels as they went 'round and 'round.
F#
And he galloped into Market Street, his badge upon his chest,
G# C#
His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
[Verse 2]
C#
Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue,
A#m
She lived all alone in Lily Lane at number 22.
F#
They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic,
G# C#
But Ernie had his cocoa there three times every week.
[Chorus]
C# A#m
They called him Ernie, (Ernie),
F# G# C#
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
[Verse 3]
C#
She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"
A#m
And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up the cart.
F#
He said, "you wanted pasteurised? 'Coz pasteurised is best,"
G# C#
She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."
[Chorus]
C# A#m
And that tickled old Ernie, (Ernie),
F# G# C#
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west. (Ah-Ooh)
[Verse 4]
C#
Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man,
A#m
Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van.
F#
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,
G# C#
And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.
[Verse 5]
C#
She nearly swooned at his macaroon, and he said "now if you treat me right
A#m
You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night"
F#
He knew once she'd sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way
G# C#
And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Poor Ernie (Ernie),
F# G# C#
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west. (Ah Ooh)
[Verse 6]
C#
One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door,
A#m
It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four.
F#
And as he leapt down from his van, hot blood through his veins did course,
G# C#
And he went across to Ernie's cart and he didn't half kick his 'orse.
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Whose name was Trigger, (Trigger),
F# G# C#
And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.
[Verse 7]
C#
Now Ernie rushed out into the street with his gold top in his hand,
A#m
He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man."
F#
"Oh, why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied,
G# C#
"And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side."
[Verse 8]
C#
Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun,
A#m
They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun.
F#
But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned,
G# G#
And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand.
C#
Now Sue, she came between them and she tried to keep them apart,
A#m
And Ernie pushed her aside, and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart.
F#
And he looked up in pained surprise, as the concrete hardened crust
G# C#
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Poor Ernie, (Ernie),
F# G# C#
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
[Verse 9]
C#
Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die,
A#m
Now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky.
F#
Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned,
G# C#
And a milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land.
[Verse 10]
C#
But a woman's needs are manifold and Sue, she married Ted,
A#m
But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed.
F#
Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate?
G# C#
Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?
[Chorus 6/Outro]
C# A#m
They won't forget Ernie, (Ernie),
F# G# C#
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
