The plughole song (not mine - thank you Orwn) has a tune. I think it was sung on the Music Halls (that's vaudeville to you yanks). The last liner should read:
'Not LORST, but gorn before!' or possibly 'Not LAWST but gawn before!'
Cocknet 'skellington' whymes with wellington. Something ought to be done with that. A translation of Rimbaud into cockney perhaps? Les squelletes de Saladin = Saladin's skellingtons
