This is a Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd / Carlo Ritchie original
Base Chorus:
One brick, two bricks, three bricks, four bricks,
Loading up the ship with bricks
Gotta get the bricks to Liverpool
Loading up the ship with bricks
Five bricks, six bricks, seven bricks, eight bricks,
Loading up the ship with bricks
Gotta get the bricks to Liverpool
Loading up the ship with bricks
The chorus changes every verse, in response to how the person mentioned in the verse loads up the ship.
Here comes (person) they’re a (rhymes with name),
Funny little line with A
When they carry the bricks on board
They carry it (a number or sequence rhymes with A).
More verses to come
