The song ends, "Until she awoke the next morning in bed/ with a smile on her lips and an ache in her head/ and a beard in her earhole that tickled and said/ "Have some Madeira, m'dear". It seems that despite her earlier flight from the dirty old man's flat, the girl somehow found herself in bed with him. I've altered the description to reflect that.

Tony Randall on The Boston Pops[edit]

Hello all

I won't edit or add anything anymore on this site -- but maybe one of the poohbahs who edit here with impunity can add that Tony Randall 'sang' it with The Boston Pops Orchestra, with Arthur Feidler conducting. It was about 1972 or later. Dim recollection from my teens. Maybe someone can look it up and find a "secondary" source, because actual fact, like PRIMARY sources are not accepted in this non-scholarly website. Try it again, wikipedia. Start over. Thanks. I was there, but that doesn't matter. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.204.160.140 (talk) 23:20, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is an interesting page because I'd only heard the song referenced on Radio 3 by a critic of a piece for piano that had been played with too much affected elegance, and I took it to be a Noel Coward reference. This page, however, throws some correct light on it, and I think the R3 music critic may have boobed. FangoFuficius (talk) 15:38, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
