Mo the caller, thanks for your demographics and the pronunciation info.

I've got several {not really important} questions for you or anyone else who wants to answer.

1. Is the Good King Wenslaslas verse and "We three spivs of Leicester square" the same song or are they two songs?

2.What is a "spiv" {it's not the racial slur "spic", is it?}
Snuffy used that same word in an earlier post on this thread.

3.Is Leicester square a shopping center in London?
And am I right in assuming that Leicester square and the Leamington Spa {used in the version Snuffy gave} are real places?

{and now that I re-read the posts-Snuffy are your rhymes three different ones, or the same one?

Also, for Snuffy, Herga Kitty, and Bard Judith: Is "Ye canna put yer muck in wor dustbin" {and the other versions}a parody? And if so what is the original song?

Thanks
