“There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing itHogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town lined upAttacking it and shoving it and smacking itThey might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down.The donkey was eyeing them,Openly defying themWinking, blinking and twisting out of place,Riley reversing it,Ev'rybody cursing itThe day Delaney's donkey ran the half mile race.”William Hargreaves Song Delaney's Donkey.
“I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirtyThen saunter along like a toff.I walk down the Strand with my gloves on my hand,Then I walk down again with them off.”William Hargreaves Song Burlington Bertie from Bow.
“The flies go up the window,They've nothing else to do,They go up in their hundredsAnd they come down two by two.”William Hargreaves Song I Know Where The Flies Go.
