There Was A Young Man From Town

There was a young man from town
Who wore a perpetual frown.
He went out on the lash
And splashed lots of cash
But he never lost that frown.

(Note: to “go out on the lash” means to go out drinking, frequently with the intention of becoming intoxicated.

To “splash”, in this context means to spend).

There Was A Young Lady Called Michelle

There was a young lady called Michelle
Who had a friend named Nell.
They lived on my street
And we would meet
By the local wishing well.

There was a young lady called Michelle
Who decided her soul to sell.
Having run out of money
The devil paid her in honey,
Or so her friends do tell.
