There were scores and scores and scores of kids, Perhaps there were even thirty And goodness knows who owned them all But they all looked filthy dirty There were Jackson's kid from across the street And he were a right young villain When collection box come around to him He made off with fifteen shillings. CHORUS Now man, as stood and waved a big stick Looked tall as half the houses He'd got a grand new uniform With gold braid down his trousers Behind him ran little Tommy Jones With his young grey pup called Dusty And pup must have thought that man was a tree 'Cause gold braid's gone all rusty CHORUS Now rest didn't think band was up to much, But me, I didn't mind 'em So when they marched off down the street, I marched off right behind 'em Well they marched up t'other side of town, Streets I'd never been in And they ended in the back of a public house, As my dada said I couldn't be seen in CHORUS When policemen fetched me home that night They'd had their dinner without me And when my dad found out where I'd been I knew for a fact he'd clout me Well I got buckle end of my dad's pit-strap And that were plenty for me I've never followed that band again, And that's the end of me story. ------------------------------------------------------------------ By Roger Watson, author of many first-rate songs about goings-on in his native Derbyshire.
