You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,

And the clatter of the wheels as they went 'round and 'round.

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.

Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue,
Am
She lived all alone in Lily Lane at number 22.

But Ernie had his cocoa there three times every week.
[Chorus]

They called him Ernie, (Ernie),
F G C
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"
Am
And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up the cart.

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"

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
