Quotes

• I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
  Then saunter along like a toff.
  I walk down the Strand with my gloves on my hand,
  Then I walk down again with them off.
  • Song Burlington Bertie from Bow.

• The flies go up the window,
  They've nothing else to do,
  They go up in their hundreds
  And they come down two by two.
  • Song I Know Where The Flies Go.

• There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing it
  Hogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town lined up
  Attacking it and shoving it and smacking it
  They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down.
  The donkey was eyeing them,
  Openly defying them
  Winking, blinking and twisting out of place,
  Riley reversing it,
  Ev'rybody cursing it
  The day Delaney's donkey ran the half mile race.
  • Song Delaney's Donkey.
