Subject: Lyr Add: WHY DID IT ALL BEGIN? (Paddy Roberts) From: Nigel Parsons Date: 04 Mar 13 - 05:24 PM WHY DID IT ALL BEGIN Paddy Roberts Why did it all begin? Why did I get in this mess I'm in? I guess I'm in the stew. You're awful snooty with me, my beauty, And I'm awful tired of you. Look what is on my plate. Why must I suffer this dreadful fate, This awful state I'm in? Lumbered with you dear, my whole life through, dear, Oh why did it all begin? We'd done a little drinking, And the pair of us were stinking. And our first embrace was underneath the table. It was really rather thrilling, You were ready, you were willing, And I very soon discovered you were able. But now that I'm on the spot, 'Spose I deserve ev'ry thing I've got. This sotted clot was I, But I'll bet a nicker I'm through with liquor, From now 'til the day I die. Why did I have to fall? Guess I intended to have a ball, But now it's all in vain. Oh what a night, had the ball alright, yes, Got me a ball and chain. You'll find you're not so choosy When you get a little woozy, And on top of that the lights were pretty shaded. It wasn't 'til the morning, When the sun came up at dawning, That I found my little rose was rather faded. Then, without any doubt, You pulled a fast one and caught me out, You poured me out a gin. And I had to sign on the dotted line. Oh, why did it all begin? Tell me, Why did it all begin? Transcribed from "Paddy Roberts tries again" NP |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ballad of Bethnal Green (Paddy Roberts) From: GUEST,jim bainbridge Date: 24 Feb 13 - 12:34 PM For me, another of Paddy Roberts' little gems was in French, and to the unlikely !! tune of 'A wee Deoch and Doris- 'Bonsoir ma cherie, comment allez-vous?' 'Je suis tres bien, merci beaucoup' 'Etes-vous fiancee?' 'Ca fait rien' 'Voulez-vous promenade avec moi ce soir?' 'Oui oui' 'Combien?' sorry about the lack of accents- don't know how to do that but you can see that all those daytrips to Boulogne have paid off... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ballad of Bethnal Green (Paddy Roberts) From: GUEST,Tom L Date: 02 Apr 10 - 02:10 PM THE BALLAD OF BETHNAL GREEN. (Paddy Roberts) I tell the tale of a jealous male and a maid of sweet sixteen. She was blonde and dumb and she lived with her Mum on the fringe of Bethnal Green. She worked all week for a rich old Greek for her Pa was on the Dole. And her one delight was a Friday night when she had a little rock and roll. CHORUS: With my rit fal dal to my titty fal dal to my itty bitty fal dal day. Then one fine day in the month of may she found her big romance. He was tall and sleek with a scar on his cheek and a pair of Drainpipe pants. She thought with you I could be so true through all the years to come. For she loved the Gay Abandoned way he chewed his chewing gum. CHORUS. It went quite well because he fell for all his girlish charms but he had some doubts when he found her out in someone else arms. Then he said, look here you know my dear this is going a bit too far, then he turned quite white and sloshed her right in the middle of her cha cha cha. CHORUS. He was brought before a man of the law who said this will not do. I have had enough of the kind of stuff I gets from the likes of you. And was he peeved when he received a longish time in clink. In a fit of pique she married the Greek and now she's dressed in mink. CHORUS. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ballad of Bethnal Green (Paddy Robert From: GUEST,Ray Date: 10 Apr 08 - 04:31 AM Just in case anyone is still interested - The Ballad of Bethnal Green was released on a Decca EP (DFE6584) "Strictly For Grown-ups" and first published in 1959. The other songs were - L'anglais avec son sang-froid, Follow Me and Love isn't what it used to be.

Subject: RE:Lyrics of the Belle of Barking Creejk) From: GUEST,Jenny Date: 24 Nov 07 - 11:55 AM to Andy G I distinctly recall that the line was "her age had been a steady 21 since 1942" At the time (1963) I worked out that she was 42. That was the only line I could recall and I was reminded because I just turned 60 and someone described it as "the 39th anniversary of my 21st birthday" |

One question though: I have heard another verse (maybe more). There was some mention of his purse. And at some point the sheriff and a posse were after him (for stealing the strawberry gin?) and there was something about the sheriff saying "I'll getcha!" and the lavender cowboy saying, "Ooo, I'll letcha!" Was this perhaps added by someone else along the way? |

Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: Nigel Parsons Date: 07 Sep 03 - 02:09 PM Slight variation to Andy G's quote of "The Belle of Barking Creek" I remember (from the EP version) the verse: "And all day long she wheels her barrow And behaves like a good girl ought And she'll only stray from the straight and narrow When the fleet is home in port" as: "And every day she wheels her barrow Selling whelks and winkles by the Court*/Quart* And she only strays from the straight and narrow When the fleet is home in port." *(unsure, probably quart),and her trade is reminiscent of one Molly Malone!

Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: GUEST Date: 22 Jul 03 - 04:25 PM Dear All, About 40 years when we bought our first record player (mono of course) having very few records, we borrowed several from a neighbour, one was I think an "EP" (extended play", like a longish single, played I think at 45 rpm) by Paddy Roberts. As well as the Ballad of Bethnal Green (words below according to my memory, a little different from those suggested above, with uncertain words in square brackets) I can remember "The Englishman with his Sang Froid", "Love Isn't what it used to be" and "When I was a Little Wolf Cub and You Were a Brownie" (Thase may not have been the exact titles). Indeed I could probably if pushed remember large bits of the others and certainly the tunes. Not that I thought the tunes or words were out of this world, but as someone (?Noel Coward) once said "How extraordinary is the potency of cheap music" (or similar)! THE BALLAD OF BETHNAL GREEN I tell the tale of a jealous male and a maid of sweet sixteen. She was blonde and dumb and she lived with her Mum on the fringe of Bethnal Green. She worked all week for a rich old Greek for her dad was on the Dole. And her one delight was a Friday night when she had a little rock and roll. CHORUS: To my rit fal dal to my titty fal dal to my itty bitty fal dal day To my rit fal dal to my titty fal dal to my itty bitty fal dal day. Then one fine day in the month of May she found her big romance. He was dark and sleek with a scar on his cheek and a pair of Drainpipe pants. And she thought "With you I could be so true through all the years to come." For she loved the Gay Abandoned way he chewed his chewing gum. CHORUS. It started well because he fell for all her girlish charms [But he had some doubt] when he caught her out in someone else's arms He said "Look here, you know my dear, this is going a bit too far" Then he went quite white and he sloshed her right in the middle of her cha cha cha. CHORUS. He went before a man of the law who said "This will not do. I've had enough of this sort of stuff, By Gad, from the likes of you. And was she peeved when he received a longish term in clink. In a fit of pique she married the Greek and now she's dressed in mink. CHORUS |
Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: cobber Date: 19 Jul 03 - 10:29 AM The Ballad of Bethnal Green was on an album called the World of British Comedy and it also included a song in similar vein by Marty Feldman. Most of the rest was sketches by people like Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I think I've still got it. I'll see if I can look it out and maybe make an MP3 of the track. |

Subject: Lyr Add: TATTOOED LADY (Paddy Roberts) From: GUEST,Malcolm Smith Date: 18 Dec 00 - 06:03 AM Some fragments from memory, apologies if someone has posted better versions and I've failed to spot them.
Dreary biographical note: my cousins in Southend were big Paddy Roberts fans c. 1960, and I can remember my acute embarrassment as my mother, with me in tow, discussed with the man in the record shop whether this would be suitable material for the eleven year old me.
TATTOOED LADY
Oh, I was a bit of a lad, I admit.
I immediately saw there were pictures galore
On the back of each knee was a small chimpanzee.
One evening I found as I ambled around,
Some things I found out I just won't talk about;
On one of her feet you are liable to meet
I loved all the ships on one side of her hips,
For this was much more than a man can endure, |
Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: John in Brisbane Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:09 AM I posted the following to a similar thread. I've come across two thin volumes for sale of Paddy Roberts songs including Barking Creek and Tattooed Lady. They are quite frankly very expensive for what they are and I'm loathe to buy them just to post the lyrics and tunes for the DT. Does anyone else have these please that I might be able to draw upon at some time in the future? Regards, John |

Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: AndyG Date: 29 Jul 99 - 05:02 AM A copy can be done but not immediately I'm afraid. As I said earlier the album is in Manchester whilst I'm in Cambridge. The recording I've got was made in Manchester, is almost drowned by background hiss and is also very quiet. I'll have to get the album back to Cambridge to make a better recording but this won't happen for a couple of weeks yet.

Yippee-yi, yippee-yay
He was just a lavender cowboy
Every morning they went out together
He was just a lavender cowboy
So the posse was sent out to find him
And they found him a-lying unconcious
So they shot the lavender cowboy
THE BELLE OF BARKING CREEK
Oh woe is me, and alas, alack!
Her hair is yellow as the morning sun
And ev'ry day she wheels her barrow
For a sailor-boy she cannot resist;
One lovely evening when the moon was new
A great big stoker by the name of Bert
And she darned his socks and she fried his bacon
Then he said, "I'm going but I'll soon be back. ^^ AndyG |

Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green From: Mike Jackson Date: 25 Jul 99 - 03:28 AM Okay so I'm still getting used to this chat thing. George's version of the lyrics differ severally from my I tell the tale of a jealous male She was blond and and dumb and she with her Mum on the fringe of Bethnal Green It went quite well because he fell because he fell for all her girlish charms but he wasn't so sure when he caught her out in someone else's arms I think it was 'her cha cha cha' The 'cha cha cha' a sort of nudge nudge wink wink euphemism for some un-named naughty part of her. Having commented on the lyrical variations, there seem to be several recordings of the song and at least one version of the 'Strictly for Grown-ups' album with songs like Lavendar Cowboy and the Boy Scout Song censored Regards Mike

It's quite apparent that a parent
