CHINA SINKS, UN ODE BRASS TAPS, RED LEADED DOORSTEPS, OLD FLAT CAPS. CAST IRON FIREPLACE, BRASSFENDER UN ALL, DIRTY GREAT COCKROACH, CRAWLIN UP THE WALL.
YO'D FETCH THE COAL, IN THE BABBI'S PRAM, GOO DARN THE BUTCHER'S, FER A QTR A SPAM. THE STOVES WAS IN THE BREWHOUSE, UN THE TAP WUS IN THE YARD. THOD'E MON'S SNAPS, A PIECE O' BREAD N' LARD.
GALVERNISED BATHS, UN DOLLY'S DONE THE WESHIN', KETTLES BOILIN' ON THE HOB, READY T' MEK A MESHIN OD'E IRON BEDSTEAD'S, BRASS KNOB'S UN ALL, BROWN PICTURES O' YA GRANDAD, HUNG ON THE WALL.
BROWN UN GREEN, WUS THE COLOUR OF THE DAY, ON WUM MED RUGS, THE DOG USED TO LAY, O' REMEMBER THE CUPBOARD, UNDER THE STAIRS, WEAR ME MOTHER PUT ME, IF O' PULLED A FERS'E
DAMP AS HELL UN AS BLACK AS COAL, A PLANK O' WOOD, WITH A BIG ROUND OLE, THAT WUS THE LAV, AT THE BOTTOM O' THE YARD, BUT YO' DAY GOO OFTEN, IF THE WEATHER WUS HARD.
