Musical Numbers/Limerick

Limerick

On the chest of a barmaid from Sale
Was tattooed all the prices of ale
Whilst on her behind for the sake of the blind
Was precisely the same but in braille.
-Captain Peacock in “Our Figures are Slipping” episode

Musical Numbers

Masculine women, feminine men
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It’s hard to tell them apart today, that way
Sister is busy learning to shave
Brother just got a permanent wave
It’s hard to tell them apart today,
Girls were girls and boys were boys when I was a tot.
Now we don’t know who is who or even what’s what.
Knickers and trousers, baggy and wide,
Nobody knows who’s walking inside
Those masculine women and feminine men.
-Music from “New Look” episode

 

Bread and dripping
Bread and dripping
Makes the stuff for me
If it’s given me every day
Stowing it away!
I think there’s worse off except for me
As I eat my bread and dripping
A lump of bread as big as your head
To dip in the drip drip dripping!
-Mr Grace in “Happy Returns” at very end of episode

Sweetest little feller, everybody knows- don’t know what to call him, but he’s mighty like a rose.
Looking at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue, makes you think that heaven is coming close to you.

When he’s there a sleeping in this little place, think I see the angels looking through the lace.
When the dark is falling, when the shadows creep, then they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleep.

Sweetest little feller, everybody knows- don’t know what to call him, but he’s mighty like a rose.
Looking at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue, makes you think that heaven is coming close to you.
-Mr Humphries and Mrs Slocombe in “Friends and Neighbours” episode rocking babies to sleep
