"Housewife's Lament (O-Roy-O)

Come and listen, let me tell you about my darling Andy,
He's tall and fair and slightly randy;
At drinking porter he is quite handy [CLAP, CLAP, CLAP]
He loves me like a devil on a Sunday!

Cho.-
O-roy-o and a diddle-lum dandy,
I want a man who can tickle my fancy,
etc.,

- Now I'm really curious about that song, as it has completely vanished, the thread has been deleted and there is no reference anywhere else!
