the deadfly ensemble – revenge on the nursemaid lyrics
my nursemaid once gave me a kiss and a farthing
two pence would have made sense; this was alarming
i was a good boy! i never got sick!
so this slice of a penny induced a coin trick
i traded my farthing for an old metal soldier
which i sold to my brother, a collector, much older
he gave me a penny which then begat three
when i found for the soldier some staunch company
my threepenny bit soon turned to a tanner
when i resold some fruit; some plums and bananas
a half-shilling’s worth of shoe polish came next
and two bob from the bank men left my pockets perplexed
with florin in hand i set up a stand
and sold penny dreadfuls at second hand
inside of a week i’d made half a crown
and my story appraisals had earned some renown
for one sovereign, one guinea, i sold off my stock
and found my revenge when the nursemaid was shopping;
she cried at the till, “all i need is two pence!”
said i, “all i’ve got is ten pound, four and six.”
