Could someone with an ear more attuned to a broad Lancashire accent than mine, please check these lyrics. The song is from the 1997 CD 'Deep Lancashire' and was originally recorded in 1970 on the album 'Owdham Edge" Our Sarah's Getten' A Chap - Sam Fitton died 1923. E'dear, there's been some changes in our 'ouse this week or two Where once there used to be a din, it's like a Sunday School, We never faint for apple pie, we very seldom flap Ana' wot does think the reason - why, our Sarah's getten' a chap. Our fender shines just like a bell, we've added silver door And cat appears to waish itsel' more ofen than 'afore Our lickle Nathan's wiped his nose and Jimmy's brushed 'is cap And all this fuss is all acuz our Sarah's getten' a chap. 'E's one of these young nutty men, they ses e's brass 'an all Me mother's apron's alus clean for fear 'e gives a call We polished up door knocker too, we're swanky you can tell But Sarah sez it widna' do, w'shd 'ave to 'ave a bell. We bought a carpet 'tother neet, to wear it seems a sin Me Faither 'as to wipe 'is feet afore 'e dares come in 'E sez 'e's know mooner some'ow, 'e sez 'e's no not mat An 'e alus wears 'is collar now our Sarah's getten' a chap. 'E comes a'courtin every neet, 'e fills our cat wi' dread 'is sky blae gaiters un 'is feet an 'yair oil on 'is yead 'E likes to swank about and strut and talk about 'is biz' 'E's summat in an office bur' I doan know war it is 'E's getten our 'ouse all in a whirl, 'E's such an 'owlin' swell, Ah wish 'e'd geet anotha girl an'r go and loose 'isel' Our Parrot goan and popped 'is toes and rooster wr'in in a flap 'Ahm gonin' daft' n' all acuz our Sarah's getten a chap
