The Girl in Portland Street [54-55] (50-51)

Thanks for the video response. It's always interesting to look at the relationships between these old songs.

Another "anatomical progression" ballad is "Gently Johnny, My Jingalo," though not the version I sing. I only learned about the bawdy version when commenters complained that mine wasn't it!

Ah yes, Stan Hugill did mention "Gently Johnny..." too, elsewhere. Now I am officially inspired to check it out.
