George Lyr Req/Add: Ballad of Bethnal Green (P Roberts) (80* d) RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green 24 Jul 99


I tell a tale of a jealous male
And a maid of sweet sixteen
She was blonde and dumb and she lived with her Mum
On the fringe of Bethnal Green
She worked all week for a rich old Greek
For her Dad was on the dole.
And her one delight was a Friday night
When she had a little rock and roll.
CHO.

Well all went well because he fell
For all her girlish charms
Until one fine night when he caught her right
In some-one else’s arms
He said, "Look here, you know my dear,
This is going just a bit to far.”
And he went quite white and he slapped her right
In the middle of the cha cha cha
CHO.

He went before a man of the law who
Said, "this will not do. I've had enough
Of this sort of stuff as I'm getting from
The likes of you.”
And was she peeved when he received
A longish term in clink.
In a fit of pique she married the Greek
And now she's dressed in mink^^
