Hedlyn the cobbler mending boots and shoes,
Drunks tumbling out of Trevose, full of booze,
Bert and Billy, they kept the park so clean,
Joe the Yank who’d claimed to the States he’d been.
Tom the Milk with his trusty horse and cart,
Windy Willie letting off another sly fart,
Foghorn Eira whose bellowing would make you start,
Diamante Lil trying really hard to look the part.
Midnight Nell standing on Marine Street corner,
Trying to ply her trade with Alfie Cape Horner,
Now all gone, these characters from the past,
We should have made a film, oh what a cast!
