Here's one of the forgotten songs about Southend Pier.

I came down to Southend for "The Season",
It created a stir there's no doubt.
There's no need to ask me the reason,
When you see my yachting rig-out.
When first, I set out,
It created a riot.
It took four policemen
To keep the girls quiet!

CHORUS

As I strolled Southend Pier,
All the girls cried What!
He's just come off his yacht:
He must be some wealthy big pot.
And as they gatherred around me,
And asked to hear my lot,
I promise to take the young girls for a sail
In the beautiful yacht I've not got!

What! What!

There are other verses.

Andrew.

There may well be other verses. As you say it is a forgotten song. Best left that way!
