GUEST,Lin Lyr Req: I've Only Come Down for the Day (12) RE: Lyr Req: I've Only Come Down for the Day 28 Sep 14


I have only just seen this.   I remember nearly every word from this speech from liza of lambeth staged at the Shaftesbury theatre london. My dad worked in the theatres so I saw lots of the rehearsals. Hope this helps sorry it's so late.

I come down from Wigan to see London Town,
I only come down for the day.
I'd once been to morecombe and so had me dad,
It's the usual trip for a Lancashire lad.
Well on lavender hill I fell in with our lil,
'I'm not stopping' I said, she said 'right'
I woke up on Sunday and I'd been married that Saturday night.
From that day forth I've been no father north than tott-en-ham and Eee that were last May,
23 bloody year I've been stopping down here and I only come down for the day.
