Thread Name: ADD: Spotted Dick
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tune too...'Spotted Dick' anyone???
The version I know and sing (unaccompanied) can be found on a 'Veteran' C.D. WHEN THE MAY IS ALL IN BLOOM by Louise Fuller, but appears to have two lines missing in the last verse.
Tonight I feel so happy, tonight I feel so gay, Mother's got a roly-poly pudding on the way, I saw her put the currents in, the suet in as well. Tonight I'm having 'Spotty-Dick', this story I must tell, I'm having a bit tonight, I'm having a bit tonight My mother said I must be quick to get a bit of Spotty-Dick I like my roly-poly it fills me with delight I haven't had any since Easter but I'm having a bit tonight Tra-la-la-la.
Now there is my girl friend, she's such a lovely girl Her eyes are like the setting sun, her teeth are white as pearl, There's only one thing wrong with her she isn't very fat, Tonight she's having Spotty-Dick, so what will she think of that. Cos she's having a bit tonight, she's having a bit tonight, Her mother says she must be quick to get a bit of Spotty-Dick, She likes her roly-Poly it fills her with delight, She hasn't had any since Easter, but she's having a bit tonight.
Then there's dear old grandpa, he seldom gets enough, Although he's nearly ninety he's a bugger for his duff *----- *----- So he's having a bit tonight, he's having a bit tonight His mother says he must be quick to get his bit of Spotty-Dick He likes his roly-poly it fill him with delight, Although he's nearly ninety, he's having a bit tonight
