Cosmotheka revived that Robin redbreast song a few years ago. From memory, the chorus and one of the verses went: I never get the knock When the boys shout: "Cock Cockety-ock-cock Cock Robin!" In me old red vest I mean to cut a shine And walking down the street they call me "Danger On The Line" But the more they call me Robin Redbreast, I'll wear it longer still I will have a red waiscoat, I will - I will, I will, I will, I will, I will Well some funny things have happened, I can tell you on the bright. Standing on the corner of the street the other night Waiting for a bus 'cause I intended going south, A fellow came along and he popped a letter in me mouth. Well, "I'm no letter box," I said, "Remember that." And just as he was grinning at me like a Cheshire cat, A postman he came on the scene and drove me up the pole - He dropped his sack and stuck his key right in me button 'ole But I never get the knock ... There are other verses relating similar hilarious incidents. But I can't remember them.
