Gilly and Auntie Pam

Gilly darling dont do that You don't know where it's been And put our hat on there's a love I'm fetching some ice-cream Do you want a cornet child? Or will you take a lolly? Oh Gilly darling don't do that I'll have to tell your Mummy Now sit here on the beach towel And do try to be good I know you're keen on swimming And I'd let you if I could But Auntie Pam's a land lubber The waters not for me Oh Gillian for heavens sake Just let your pig tails be Now what is it to be my girl? A cornet or a lolly? A choc-ice? I suppose so But if it melts we'll all be sorry Chocolate on your pretty dress A most unbecoming site Oh Gilly child dont blubber I shall get you one ,alright? Oh look the van is going Oh botheration damn We'll have to have a sandwich There is cheese or strawberry jam There we are a jam one Now do be careful please Dont like it? Why, its lovely? Oh ok then have a cheese Finished it all up I see There's a clever girl Now have a bit of lemon cake Or there's a Vienesse Whirl? No I don't have jaffa cakes No there are no crisps Now Gilly just behave yourself And still those quivered lips I'm going to have a read now Just play nice on the sand And don't go by the water Hold onto to dollys hand Pam looks up from her book No Gilly is in sight Oh blast the child she murmurs Then, Im sure she'll be alright Gillian she hollers What? Comes the reply O there you are behind me And the child begins to cry
