Knees Up Mother Brown
Last updated: 11.10.23
Knees Up Mother Brown, written by Harris Weston & Bert Lee, is a song that I've known since childhood and the version I sing comes from It's fun to sing. There is also a version given Busking for Special Occaisions. This is generally sung in a medley of pub and music-hall songs. I always enjoyed the
    "... Oh, dear, what a rotten song, what a rotten song, what a rotten song
    Oh, dear, what a rotten song, and what a rotten singer (s)he is."

bit.

This song was recorded and included in We're Only Here For The Beer! - Light by Dr. Rosteck and myself.
