A Taste of Honey Page #3

Little lady's big surprise.

What d'you think about that?

Is this for us? Where'd you find it?

One of the lads at the club

wanted to sell it so I bought it.

Oh, isn't it lovely?

Look, a bungalow with bay windows

and crazy paving.

Oh, look, Jo.

Its all right.

Certainly fixed up things behind my back.

# The time comes along, and I

# Knock the guy that say that it's a crime

# lm gonna grab it, our habit

# Why not, why not, why not?

# Guess some fun's in sight on a party night

# What's it matter

what they're singing about?

# Lm gonna grab it, our habit

# Why not, why not, why not?

# So if a pretty chick is possible

- # To get to the other side

- Come on!

# That pretty chick better jump down quick...

# Baby, baby, you're so square

# Things you do really get in my hair

# You dig that jazz like no one do

# I wanna rock and roll with you, let's rock

# Let's rock

# Let down your hair

# Don't be a square

'Now we have Fascination

by Van Gogh,

which now hangs

in the Louvre gallery in Paris.'

Here we have our lovely Lorraine

in her exotic, exciting pose

as a provocative

provoking provocation.

We hope she'll be our guest artiste

for the rest of the season.

And now, in comparison,

here is the ugly blackened shell

of the Parisian Georgette.

She used to play Cinderella, but

she took to drugs and excessive alcohol.

Now she couldn't even play

the wick in Aladdin's lamp.

And now a short scene

from the famous film Dracula.

Die, girl, die!

That was the vampire strangling his...

...I mean her victim.

And now we have Fascination

by Van Gogh,

which now hangs

in the Louvre gallery in Paris.

'Fascination. '

# Let's slip away

# Somewhere quiet

# Let's slip away

# And live on a diet of love

# And kisses all day

# Slip away, slip away

# Let's slip away

# Let's play truant

# Let's go today, just ask me and... #

Oh, look, there's the gypsy that

told me fortune last year, she's wonderful.

- I never believe a word they say.

- Hey, where you going?

Itll be raining again in a minute.

They'll be half an hour now.

D'you feel like that about me, Mr Smith?

Or must we wait until we're alone

for an answer?

- Will you behave yourself!

- Lm getting wet and lm tired.

Lm not surprised. The way you're guzzling

them chocolates I wonder you're not sick.

- Don't boss me about, you're not me father!

- Ah, get lost and leave us alone!

You leave me alone

and leave my mother alone, too!

I know you're planning to run off

with my old woman.

- What you gonna do about me?

- Hey, me blazer!

Oh! Lll knock your head in,

you jealous little cat!

She's always like this

if lm affectionate with anybody.

- You've never been affectionate with me.

- That's no way to talk to your mother.

- Shut up!

- You've really upset Peter now, you have.

Now send the kid home!

I won't spend another minute with her.

I feel properly embarrassed

in front of Bert and Doris.

Well, she's been on her own before.

I suppose she'll be all right.

Come on, make up your mind!

Either she goes or I do. Now, which is it?

You've properly upset Peter.

You've got to go home.

Come on, Helen!

Oh, stop shouting!

Lm gonna give her some money

so she can get home. Here you are, love.

Shall I come to the bus stop with you?

I can find me own way to the bus stop.

Don't treat me like a baby.

- Go back to your friends!

- Oh, you do show me up, you do!

You will be all right though, won't you?

Its not the first time you've gone away.

Don't get a conscience now!

Come on!

And another thing, we're not having her

living with us! Now think on that!

Jo!

Jo!

Jo!

What's the matter? Have you been crying?

No. Oh, you would have to be here

when I feel such a mess!

Listen to that. Lll be gone soon.

Me heart's broke

You can lie in bed and hear me ship

passing down the old canal.

Is my ring still round your neck?

Yes.

- Well, wear it, then.

- Unfasten it, then.

- Pretty neck you've got.

- Glad you like it.

Let me put it on.

Did it cost you very much?

Shouldn't ask questions like that.

- I got it in Woolworth!

- Woolworth's best, eh?

I don't care. Its the thought that counts.

I wonder what the thought was

in your wicked mind that made you buy it?

Will you stay with me?

If that's what you want.

That's what you want.

Probably never see you again. I know it.

What makes you say that?

I just know it, that's all.

But I don't care.

Stay with me now. Its enough.

And if you do come back lll still be here.

Lll come back.

Anyway,

after this, perhaps you might not

want to come back.

After all, lm not very experienced

in these little matters.

I am.

Don't do that.

Why not?

I like it.

Well, I must go. Are you all right?

Course lm all right. You'd better hurry up.

- We sail sometime this afternoon.

- Today?

- Yes. Don't forget me.

- I won't.

- See you.

- Come on there, hurry up!

# Oh, dear, what can the matter be?

# Three old ladies got locked in a lavatory

# They were there from Monday to Saturday

# Nobody knew they were there #

Jo, are you still in bed? Its three o'clock.

- The sun's shining.

- Yes. Happy the bride the sun shines on.

And happy the corpse the rain rains on.

Where you going, anyway?

Lve come to get my things.

Lm gonna get married.

Really? You're not getting married

in a church, are you?

Why, you coming to throw bricks at us?

Course lm not.

Hey, Jo.

Jo.

How d'you like this?

Bet somebody's missing their cat.

Its a present from that young man of mine.

You would catch cold, wouldn't you?

Use your hankie.

- I haven't got one.

- Use mine, then.

- What are you trying to hide?

- Nothing.

- Let's have a look.

- Let go, you're hurting me!

- What's this?

- A ring.

I can see it's a ring.

Who's given it you?

The man lm gonna marry.

Silly little b*tch!

You mean that sailor lad

you've been knocking about with?

- Has he really asked you to marry him?

- Yes. We're as good as married.

You know where this belongs?

In the ash can with everything else!

I could kill you, I could really!

You've already had a damn good try!

Oh, Jo, why can't you learn

from my mistakes?

It takes half your lifetime

to learn from your own.

Oh, what a thing to happen!

As soon as me back's turned you'll be off

with that sailor lad and ruin yourself.

Don't worry, Helen. He's gone away.

Lll probably never see him again

for months.

Oh, Jo, love.

You're only young.

Why don't you enjoy your life?

Don't get trapped.

Marriage can be murder for a kid.

Oh, give me your hankie back.

- Where's your husband?

- He's outside waiting for me.

Ooh, I say, look at that.

Every line tells a dirty story.

- Helen?

- Yeah?

What was me father like?

- Who?

- Me father.

Oh, him.

Was he so horrible

that you can't even tell me about him?

No, he wasn't horrible.

He was just a bit simple, that's all.

- Are you serious?

- Course lm serious.

You're a liar!

Am I?

- No.

- So now you know.

- Was he... a real idiot?

- Well, he wasn't daft, he was...
