She was only an undertaker’s daughter,

but she’d always bury a stiff.

She was only the captain’s daughter,

but her naval base was full of seamen.

She was only a road layer’s daughter,

but she liked her asphalt.

She was only a farmer’s daughter,

but she’d lie under any old sod.

She was only a fishmonger’s daughter,

but she’d jump on the slab and say “fillet.”

She was only an oars-man’s daughter,

but she liked a fine pair of row-locks.

She was only the telegraphers daughter,

but she didit didit didit didit…

She was only the batsman’s daughter,

but she could take a full toss in her crease.

She was only the cricket umpire’s daughter,

but her crease was fit for Lords.
