I had a sister Lily she's whore in Piccadilly
And me mother is another on the Strand
And me father flogs his arsehole in the Elephant and Castle,
Oh we're the cleanest family in the land.
(Tune 'Road to the Isles', Hull 1960s

My father's a lavat'ry cleaner,
he works hard from morning till night,
And when he comes home in the evening,
He's covered all over in...
   Sweet Violets, sweeter than all the roses,
   Covered all over from head to the foot in sweet violets.

(tune to first part 'My Bonny', chorus , own tune)
