knowlegable brummie
I was raised in a back house somewhere down Summer Lane
bombs came down among us praying kept them sane
Toilet out in the yard used by six family's or more
We had very little privacy no lock upon the door
My mother use to cut up newspapers into little squares
we used it as toilet paper that everybody shares
The coal house in our cellar a dirty place to be
the darkness and the spiders use to frighten me
Brewhouse in the yard where people went to smoke
courting couples cuddled there people liked to joke
Black range in our Moms kitchen what a sight to see
Everything was cooked there breakfast dinner and tea
Two bedrooms and an attic a staircase rickety and bent
If you were ever naughty down the cellar you went
Our old house gone demolished it doesn't exist no more
I'll always remember our house and the number on the door
