GUEST,David Kilpatrick Origins: I'm a Swell (11) Origins: I'm a Swell 24 Nov 13


Paul Walker, photographer and FB friend of mine, has posted a video of his mum singing a song with a music-hall like tune and lyrics -

I'm a swell, I'm a swell, I'm a market-street swell
With a curl in my moustache and a bow-tie as well
A cigar in my mouth and a stick by my side
And a wink at the ladies as they pass me by
(then a peculiar nonsense chorus ending one-two-three which seems to indicate a dance)

It's a triple time 2:3 without swing and I can't post a link to the Flashplayer FB video.

These lyrics produce a blank - just can't find them. Any ideas?
