Description: | Music Hall songs relied on the double entendre and performers could make seemingly innocent expressions very 'blue' with a simple wink or wriggle. This is a typical comic Music Hall song, it describes a situation in a railway carriage on a train to Brighton. The young lady was travelling to the coast when she met a gentleman in the carriage. She was distracted by his good looks, most especially his handsome moustache! As the train entered a tunnel she felts a 'strange sensation on her lips' and was surprised to discover that the gentleman's moustache was attached to her lips! He turned out to be a thief who stole her belongings. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | B Williams, 11 Paternoster Row | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Women's Wear Rail Transport Musical Hall Songs Daywear Menswear | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Mackey, C H | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
