And Music!!!

The first few lines of a ‘libretto’ of one of the songs within the Pantomime suggests that it was written by the cast – in line with the usual ad-libbing no doubt! The tune to which it fits does, inevitably, remain a mystery!

• ‘Our local labour exchange has gone to rack and ruin, cos there’s so many new blokes signing on each week,
• Now to be a layabout of any standing, means dodging work for seven days a week
• Oh it really spoilt it for us regular patrons, we have to queue for hours to get 50 bob!

Chorus – Oh, our local labour exchange has gone to rack and ruin, So I reckon I’ll have to find myself a job!

Fortunately the rest of the words have been lost!!!!!!!!!!!!
