Harry Clifton wrote a number of moralistic music-hall songs, like "Paddle Your Own Canoe," "Work, Boys, Work," "Motto for Every Man," "Never Look Behind," "Wait for the Turn of the Tide" and "Where There's a Will." They were quite popular in his day--had the audience singing along. Steve Gardham and I have posted quite a few here on Mudcat, with MIDIs. You can, of course, revise lyrics to suit your target horde.
