Lorinne Lampert * The Spotted Dick Song * Trav SD's Jack The Ripper Holiday Spectacular

[Geoff1799]

The vicar of our local church, he has but one desire,

He likes to warm his roly-poly pudding by the fire,

He wraps it up in grease-proof, he jumps and shouts with glee,

And then he makes a pig of hisself and sings "Abide With Me".

This is another verse I found on Mudcat Cafe. I haven't sung it yet but I will. Regards Geoff Hardman, Anglesey UK

[Geoff1799]

Then there is me Uncle Bill and me Auntie Nell

Then there is the lodger he likes his bit as well

Then there is me ould granda' he's really very tough

Although he's nearly ninety he's a b*gg*r for his dough (duff)

Then there is me sister, Nell she's a lovely girl,

Her hair is like the waving corn her teeth are like the pearl

There's only one thing wrong with her she isn't very fat.

Tonight I'll give her Spotted Dick, well what do you think of that.

These are 2 original verses not mine

[Geoff1799]

Amazing! I wrote the last three verses. It's really weird to see someone that you have never heard of, singing them. It would be interesting to know how Lorinne got hold of them. Well done Lorinne. A great performance.

@Geoff1799 I found your pod-cast and learned the song off it. Originally Trav SD only had some lyrics.. and wanted to invent a melody - but you saved the day ! We love that song ! Albert

[Geoff1799]

@garzonalbert Thanks for your response but I'm afraid I'm none the wiser. I didn't know that I had a podcast and I'm not sure that I would recognise one if I saw one. Who or what is Trav SD? I have two more of the original verses if you would like them.

@Geoff1799 Strange.. well now I'm not sure where we got the lyrics.. but if you wrote them .. we salute you.. and i will certainly give you proper credit in the info blurb. just lay the details on me.. cheers again !

[garzonalbert]

@Geoff1799 and yes.. we want the additional lyrics if you don't mind.. I will put them in the holiday file.. and when / if we bring back the song.. we will have fun mixing and matching your pure poetry !
