I'm Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With my extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
Wherever I go through rain and snow, the people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With his extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um

The day that I was born, oh boy, my father nearly died
He couldn't get my nappies on, no matter how he tried
'Cause I was born with an extra leg and since that day begun
I had to learn to stand on my own three feet, believe me that's no fun

I'm Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With my extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
Wherever I go through rain and snow, the people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With his extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um

I had a dreadful childhood, really, I suppose I shouldn't moan
Each time they had a three legged race, I won it on my own
And also I got popular when came the time for cricket
They used to roll my trousers up and use me for the wicket

I'm Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With my extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
Wherever I go through rain and snow, the people always let me know
There's Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With his extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um

I was a dreadful scholar, I found all the lessons hard
The only thing I knew for sure was three feet make a yard
To count to ten I used my fingers if I needed more
By getting my shoes and socks of, I could count to twenty-four

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
21, 22, 23, 24, 25

I'm Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With my extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um

Whatever I did they said was false
They said, 'Quick march', I did a quick waltz
Then they shouted at me, 'Put your best foot forward'
'But which foot?' I said
'It's very fine for you, you only got a choice of two but me'

I'm Jake the Peg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
With my extra leg, deedle, eedle, eedle, um
