Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Ballad of Bethnal Green (P Roberts)
Subject: RE: Still looking for Ballad of Bethnal Green
A HUGE THANKYOU TO ROGER THE ZIMMER WHO HAS COME UP TRUMPS. SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM HOW I USED TO SING IT BUT AS SOON AS I READ WHAT YOU POSTED THE OLD GREY CELLS ALL FELL INTO SHAPE. The way I used to sing that 3rd verse as has now come back to me was:

It all went well because he fell for all her girlish charms.
But he had some doubts when he found her out in someone else’s arms
He said 'look here, you know my dear, this is going a bit too far.
Then he turned quite white and he sloshed her right in the middle of her Cha Cha Cha.

My brain can now rest. Hope your typing finger soon mends

Cheers, folkbloke.
