Gallant Dick Turpentine Pts1&2-1936
Regal Zonophone MR2060 Gifford/Cliffe Sketch
I'm gallant Dick Turpentine, just swam the Serpentine, now I'm riding to York.
Daring deeds at night I do, holding up coaches, and charabancs too
"Stand and deliver!" I shout and they shiver with faces white as chalk.
I'm such a devil, I scare 'em and then
I rob all the women and kiss all the men.
I'm gallant Dick Turpentine, just swam the Serpentine, now I'm riding to York.
Patter
I'm gallant Dick Turpentine, just swam the Serpentine, now I'm riding to York.
Daring deeds at night I do, holding up coaches, and charabancs too
"Stand and deliver!" I shout and they shiver with faces white as chalk.
I've robbed the mail coach with curses and threats
A couple of bathchairs and two bassinettes.
I'm gallant Dick Turpentine, just swam the Serpentine, now I'm riding to York.
