~ The Ratcatcher's Daughter ~

 

~ Wednesday 7 June 2006 ~

 Anti-campus cattywampus, catty, waily,
caterwauling Mr. Kit N. Caboodle (a feelin' feline)
smells a fishy rat - proposing London not be undone
by elemenTREE, ParliamenTREE Pest Control.

The above "pur""fur"mance showcases only the beggar's (winning/whining) beginning to this 19th Century song.

Mr. Charles Dickens knew all about it.

Take heed, be blessed and read the (arresting) rest --->

The Ratcatcher's Daughter Lyrics by Rev. E. Bradley :

Not long ago, in Vestminstier,
There lived a rat-catcher's daughter,
But she didn't quite live in Vestminstier,
'Cause she lived t'other side of the vater;
Her father caught rats, and she sold sprats,
All round and about that quarter;
And the gentlefolks all took off their hats,
To the putty little ratcatcher's daughter!
Doodle dee! doodle dum! di dum doodle da!

Now, rich and poor, both far and near,
In matrimony sought her;
But at friends and foes she turn'd up her nose,
Did the putty little ratcatcher's daughter.
For there was a man, sold lily-vite sand,
In Cupid's net had caught her
And right over head and ears in love
Vent the putty little ratcatcher's daughter!
Doodle dee, etc.

Now ratcatcher's daughter so ran in his 'ead,
He couldn't tell vat he was arter,
So, instead of crying "D'ye vant any sand!"
He cried, "D'ye vant any ratcatcher's daughter ?"
His donkey cocked his ears and laughed,
And couldn't think vat he was arter,
Ven he heard his lily-vite sandman cry,
"D'ye vant any ratcatcher's daughter?"
Doodle dee, etc.

They both agreed to married be
Upon next Easter Sunday,
But Ratcatcher's Daughter she had a dream
That she wouldn't be alive on Monday;
She vent vunce more to buy some sprats,
And she tumbled into the vater,
And down to the bottom, all kiver'd up with mud,

Vent the putty
little ratcatcher's daughter!
Doodle dee, etc.

Ven Lily-vite Sand 'e 'eard the news,
His eyes ran down with water,
Said 'e "In love I'll constant prove;
And blow me if I'll live long arter."
So he cut his throat vith a pane of glass,
And stabbed 'is donkey arter!
So 'ere is an end of Lily-vite Sand,
Donkey, and the ratcatcher's daughter!
Doodle dee, etc.

The neighbours all, both great and small,
They flocked unto 'er berrein'
And vept that a gal who'd cried out sprats,
Should be dead as any herrein'
'Twas a haccident they all agreed,
And nuffink like self-slaughter;
So not guiltee of "fell in the sea",
They brought in the ratcatcher's daughter !
Doodle dee, etc.

The customised message on the cat's
tip-top top reads : "Paws Fur Thought".
