Lyrics

There once was a girl from Frodsham see The name of the girl was Rachel Claire The cold blew up, her nose dripped down O blow, my Rachel, blow Huh! Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon One day, when the covid is done We'll book our trip and go She'd not been two weeks in bed When down on her came an aching head She coughed and sneezed a lot and swore I say honey I love you so, Huh! Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon One day, when the covid is done We'll book our trip and go Da-da, da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da Before the girl could hit the booze Double Night Nurse is what she chose The spoon was big the spoon was deep So soon she was asleep, huh! Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon One day, when the covid is done We'll book our trip and go No meals were cooked, no flowers arranged, Rachel’s mind was not awake But the sleeping did her the world of good Next day she wanted cake huh! Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon One day, when the covid is done We'll book our trip and go Da-da, da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da For forty days, or even more She tried to work, she tried to dance Got herself dressed, then to bed once more But still that flu clung on, huh! Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon Anyway, when all’s said and done It’s true I love her so, huh! As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The flowers aren’t cut and the cold's not gone The neighbours make their regular calls To cheer up Rachel, cats, and all (Huh!) Soon may the doctor come To bring hot honey and lemon One day, when the covid is done We'll book our trip and go
