"Johnny McGuire, Johnny McGuire
Yer father’s gorra job
He’s working in the brickfields
For four and twenty bob
An’ when he comes home on Saturday night
He’ll buy yer a pair o’ clogs
He’ll swallow a rat an’ kill the cat
An he’ll marmalise the dog."
Liverpool song, quoted by Jim Callaghan in ‘Candles, Carts and Carbolic’
