I can't remember the thread but Joe Offer talked about a new site he had found for sheet music. It really is wonderful. My bookmark says: The Lester S. Levy Music Collection - Homepage. Try it--you'll like it.

Also, there are some collections of these type of songs in libraries that I have looked at, but don't have the titles. If you are near a major centre you should be able to find them.

Sorry Dick,

I usually do not forget to give this information. Here is the access to letter C of that songbook: http://mypage.direct.ca/f/fstringe/singc.html#C448

The other letters are easy to access from there.

Come and make eyes at me

Come, come, come
And make eyes at me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush,
Come, come, drink
Some port wine with me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush,
Hear the little German band,
Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-rah.
Just let me hold your hand, dear.
Do, do come and have a drink or two
Down at the Old Bull and Bush.

from a songbook in the web

Liz,

two of them can be found in the Digitrad Database (upper right hand corner for an easy search; sorry, not so easy, spell "lily" to find one of them).

Does anyone out there have any lyrics for any of the great old music hall songs (Victorian England)- or that genre - I've searched wherever I could, with no success!
Particularly interested in :
Lilly the Pink
Down at the Old Bull and Bush
After the ball was over

etc etc..

any takers?
