"My Old Man."

Ruby's favorite song right now is "My Old Man," a traditional English music-hall number. (Don't ask.) Enjoy . . . and sorry it's sidewise!




Since I know you're all interested in such things, here are the lyrics, in case you have trouble understanding them:

My old man
Said, "Follow the van!
Don't dilly-dally on the way!"
Off went the cart with the home packed in it
I walked behind with my old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost the van and don't know where to roam
You can't trust the "specials" like the old-time coppers
When you can't find your way -
Who's going my way? -
Can't find your way home!

I like how she really gets into it at the end.
