MONDAY 'ER DOES ALL 'ER WEYSHIN' - words and music by Ted Edwards 1973

Ney last week I went deyn to London to ogle at this, an' at that.
I font mesel' deyn near t' palace, so I thowt I'd drop in fer a chat.
I knocked on t' front door an' it opened, and Annie stood there in me way.
So I sez, 'Is thi Mam in?' Er sez, 'Aye 'er is, but 'er's too busy t' see thee today. 'Cos -

CHORUS: Monday 'er does all 'er weyshin'. Tuesday 'er irons all day.
Wednesday 'ers moppin, an' Thursday 'er's shoppin', an' Friday 'er goes for 'er pay.
Setday 'er cleyns all 'er winders, then Maggie comes reynd for the day,
So come any Sunday, but let us know first, an' we'll get summat in fer thi tay.

They've portraits of Kings ad of Princes, an' Barons an' Bishops an' Knights,
An' one on the 'Victory' wi' Nelson - kissin' 'ardy wi' 'ole in 'is tights.
But the pride of the old British Empire, a truly magnificent sight,
Is an ermine-trimmed purple guzunder - for if they're caught short in the night. Oh -

We rounded a bend & were greeted, dressed in raiment of purples & reds,
By Elizabeth One-One Regina, gettin' t' fluff out from under all t'beds.
So if you ever go down to London to see 'ow te Royals go on',
If you don't let 'em know, they'll be busy. The odds are a hundred to one, that -
