We're Living At The Cloisters 1928 The Weston Brothers

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Jun 2003

We've moved in to a house
such a dinky little house
and Ma said it would be a crying shame
if we called it number two,
down this swagger avenue.
Our mansion ought to have a classy name,
The next door folks
are calling theirs "The Oaks,"
It's "The Maples" over the way.
So nailed upon the gate,
we've "The Cloisters" on a plate
and we look at it and proudly say:

We're all living at "The Cloisters,"
That's what we call our home.
It's cloister "The Crown,"
cloister "The Plough,"
cloister "The Anchor"
and "The Old Dun Cow."
"The Cloisters" is cloister the brewery,
we can all smell what they brew,
and we shan't care tuppence
when the rest day comes,
'cause we're cloister The Workhouse too!

We're all living at "The Cloisters,"
That's what we call our home.
It's cloister "The Crown,"
cloister "The Plough,"
cloister "The Anchor"
and "The Old Dun Cow."
"The Cloisters" is cloister the brewery,
we can all smell what they brew,
and we shan't care tuppence
when the rest day comes,
'cause we're cloister The Workhouse too!

Our villa might have been
"Hollywood" or "Ivy Dene,"
"The Moated Grange,"
or something quite as grand;
But I thought "The Cloisters" great,
when I saw it on the plate,
so I bought it quick for fourpence,
secondhand.
I screwed it on and rubbed it till it shone,
while the neighbours hollared "Good Lor!
That looks alright old Bean
what the dickens does it mean?"
So I chalked this on the front street door:

We're all living at "The Cloisters,"
That's what we call our home.
It's cloister "The Crown,"
cloister "The Plough,"
cloister "The Anchor"
and "The Old Dun Cow."
"The Cloisters" is cloister the brewery,
we can all smell what they brew,
and we shan't care tuppence
when the rest day comes,
'cause we're cloister The Workhouse too!

We're all living at "The Cloisters,"
That's what we call our home.
It's cloister "The Crown,"
cloister "The Plough,"
cloister "The Anchor"
and "The Old Dun Cow."
"The Cloisters" is cloister the brewery,
we can all smell what they brew,
and we shan't care tuppence
when the rest day comes,
'cause we're cloister The Workhouse too!
