The first song from the book mentioned in the opening post:

DID YOU EVER SEE

O, I got an Aunty Sissy,
And she's only got one titty,
But it's very long and pointed
And the nipple's double jointed.

Chorus: Did you ever see,
       Did you ever see,
       Did you ever see
       Such a funny thing before.

I've got a cousin Daniel,
And he's got a cocker spaniel,
If you tickled 'im in the middle
He would lift his leg and piddle.

Oh, I've got a cousin Rupert,
He plays outside half for Newport.
They think so much about him
That they always play without him.

Oh, I've got a cousin Anna,
And she's got a grand piana,
She goes ram aram aram,
Till the neighbour say "God Damn Her"


For fuller, and other vesrions of this song, see Hob Y Deri Dando where it appears as 'Hob Y Deri Dando' and 'Cosher Bailey' and other versions.
That thread has a very thorough set of words and notes by Abby Sale in This comment!
