Parlor Songs Jack Eric Williams, Angela Lansbury & Ken Jennings

[BEADLE]
Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass in Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Oh, Beadle Bamford, I didn't know you was a music lover, too. 

[BEADLE, spoken]
Oh, when I saw this dear old song book I couldn't resist. 
(sung)
Sweet Polly Plunkett saw her life pass
Flew down the city road, crying
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass loves another lad
Who once I had
In Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee ..."
(spoken)
Well, ma'am, I hope you have a few moments. You see there's been complaints. 

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
