This is a terrible song.  Can't blame Bill as this was popular a East Coast schools in the eighties, but I will never get the appeal of this band.

There are thousands of popular songs which have the same meters and rhyme schemes as limericks do, but this song is not one of them.  Yes, this has a simplistic meter and rhyme scheme, like a lot of old British "music hall" tunes; it wasn't done "by accident".  I don't know why that should make you fail to understand why anyone else would like this tune.

Thanks for your unique vocal on this one Dr. Difford.  And for your brilliant lyrics everywhere else.

WOW!!! Sting and Squeeze in the same day...

there was this decade called the 80's...we had this thing called music...the computers mostly sat there and waited for better sequence software and didn't have delusions of artistic license...AND NO PITCH CORRECTION

Ahhh - the late 1970S  I wonder if this song does actually  travel well - given the sarf-east London references?

Great stuff!!!
