Transcribed from the singing of Gordon Woods by John Howson<\/strong>\n\nFor I never knew my girl could drink until I took her out,\nAnd then she shifted over fifty-seven half-pints of stout.\nAnd as she fell in the passage \nYou should've heard the darling roar: \n\nOh, do let me have another, Georgie,\nLet me have another and be sure,\nIf you don't let me have another, Georgie, \nYou won't roll me over any more!<\/em>\n\nShe asked me home to supper once, got introduced to Ma, \nMy father toppled before my face, but I leant a bit too far.\nShe said goodnight at the garden gate and then she hung her head, \nAnd after I'd kissed her a hundred times, she laughed and winked and said,\n\nOh, let me have another, Georgie,\nLet me have another and be sure,\nIf you don't let me have another, Georgie,\nYou won't come to supper any more!<\/em>\n\nWe took a trip to Hampstead Heath, she rambled all about,\nShe got into a penny swing and I couldn't get her out.\nI tossed her up for an hour or more, 'til I felt hot and dry,\nAnd as the showman stopped the boat she cried, 'Don't let me die.' \n\nBut do let me have another, Georgie,\nLet me have another and be sure,\nIf you don't let me have another, Georgie,\nYou won't toss me over any more!<\/em>\n\nShe dived into the sea one day: she made an awful splash. \nShe rubbed about some pebbles and she caught the gravel rash.\nThe people shouted, \"What-ho! She bumps, why dont you pull her out?\"\nAnd as I caught hold of her bloomers you should've hoard her holler out:\n\nDo let me have another, Georgie,\nLet me have another and be sure,\nIf you don't let me have another, Georgie,\nYou won't shake my bloomers any more!<\/em>\n\n<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tom Leamore (1866-1939)<\/strong> was an active comedian for 54 years. He made his debut in Bermondsey in 1886, early on he was known as a particularly brilliant clog dancer. His most successful period coincided with the high point of the Halls in the 1890s and 1900s – in his later years he appeared in Veterans of Variety <\/em>programmes and was still working a week before he died as a result of a fall in 1939. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His most famous songs were probably Serving em all alike<\/a><\/em> and Percy from Pimlico<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
