I love to listening to this kind of music. It takes me back in time to a kind of life that no longer exist!

@@aburninglandfillofbadmovie2930 I say, you down there - do you want some old iron? Clang clang ! We're never going to see anything like that sort of humour again. I'm afraid too many people have no sense of humour these days. Present company not included!

Only recently found out the meaning of the last line (she's implying that a special constable sexually assaulted her when she asked for his help. As was the way in those days it was all put down as a bit of a larfff, including by her).

[@1940sDiva1]

That's very interesting and never occurred to me, thank-you for sharing this. It just goes to show how the world has changed and hopefully for the better! ;-)

A more warbly voice than Marie, but still an excellent arrangement.

[@1940sDiva1]

I'm so pleased you like my musical arrangement, although you have the advantage as I've never heard an original recording of Marie Lloyd singing this song! ;-)

[@Mr.Noisy1976]

I like Miss Piggy's version better

[@markwhitmoyer6623]

Much better than Miss Piggy.

[@messedupsegments4810]

this is from puppet 1 breaks her leg

[@martin3153]

What!? Miss piggy is so much better than this warbling woman. The only thing better is having all the verses. Hiiiiiyaaaaa! Thump!

[@uptonmanor]

Good effort, but a bit too posh in appearance.

[@1940sDiva1]

Not necessarily. This song is about having to do a moon light flit because they don't have the money to pay the rent. Who's to say that hasn't come about quickly? Her husband could be a gambler where there have been good times but bad times too. It mentions in the song it's happened before so anything is possible and it's about having to move out quickly. So often people like to keep up appearances to the very end - hence the nice out-fit so as not to raise the suspicions of the landlord ! ;-)
