Lyrics
A nice young man named William Brown
He earned a wage in a northern town
He worked from six till eight at night
Turning the wheel from left to right
The boss one day to William came
He said, look here young, what's your name
We're not content with what you do
Work a little harder or out you go
Keep that wheel a-turning Keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning Do a little more each day
William turned and he made a run
Three times round in the place of one
He turned so hard he soon was made
Lord High-Turner of the trade
William turned with the same sweet smile
The goods he made grew such a pile
They filled the room and the room next door Overflowed to the basement floor
Keep that wheel a-turning Keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning Do a little more each day
The nation heard this wondrous tale
The news appeared in the Sketch and Mail
Railways ran excursions down
All to see young William Brown
Sad the sequel is to tell
He turned out more than the boss could sell
The market slumped and the price went down Seven more days and they sacked young Brown
Keep that wheel a-turning Keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning Do a little more each day
Keep that wheel a-turning Keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning Do a little more each day
