Momus: Put A Bit Of Treacle On My Pudding Mary-Ann

An old music hall song by the Blackpool comedian Alfie Duffell.

On my wedding day we didn't have a big display
Greens and potatoes and a little bit of beef
And my wife made a boiled suet pudding for a treat
I had a little bit of pudding for my supper, I fancied something light
Said "I know mate how I'm going to celebrate on this important night"

Put a bit of treacle on my pudding Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann Mary-Ann Mary-Ann
Cover it, smother it, don't you stop
Till you can't see the pudding for the treacle on the top
I like a pudden when a pudden is a good 'un
And I don't want cake or jam
So put a bit of treacle on, treacle on, treacle on
Treacle on my pudding Mary-Ann

When my old girl boiled you never saw a woman so wild
Last night at supper I said something out of place
So she picked up a fender and threw it in my face
Then with the water she began to splatter- batter me
My soft spot she found, I said
"Aye, sweetheart, don't make a start
Upon the second round"

Put a bit of treacle on my pudding Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann Mary-Ann Mary-Ann
Cover it, smother it, don't you stop
Till you can't see the pudding for the treacle on the top
I like a pudden when a pudden is a good 'un
And I don't want cake or jam
So put a bit of treacle on, treacle on, treacle on
Treacle on my pudding Mary-Ann
