The Blacksmith And The Toffee Maker (2006 Digital Remaster) - Jake Thackray

He was a blacksmith by trade

He used to live on his own

She was a little old maid she was

All gristle and bone

Just a crone that you might not

Have fancied yourself

She was not born to attract

She was lined up for the shelf

If it were not for the fact the black smith

Loved her well

He loved her like hell he used to

Grunt and sigh fit to die

But from afar for he was shy

As blacksmiths often are

She made a meagre livelihood

From her homemade toffee that she'd sell

Up and down the neighbourhood

To a butterscotch and caramel clientele

And optimistically she used to think

That she would get a husband yet

She was far too modest to wink to

Proud to be coquette

You bet cause she'd got a squint

She was skinny she was skint

It never seemed that she so palpably

Bizarre and banal

Could ever be a femme fatale

Time has no time to spare and the

Years went by as they must

The spinster shivered with despair

And the blacksmith sweated with lust

Fit to bust

Until one day she went into the church

Her simple heart to unclose

Lord don't leave me in the lurch

Don't turn up your nose

God knows I'm not much cop but

My legs go up to the top

Oh tell me why you've passed me by

And if you can dear Lord on high

Get me a man

She she was in for a shock for high

In the tower like a bird

The smith was mending the clock

And he had overheard every word

He nearly fell off his perch with delight

But stout fellow he kept his head

He didn't snigger as a lot of men might

But in the tones of Jehovah instead

He said you're not bereft

There's a good lad left

He's nothing flash but still reliable

Staunch and true

Dear daughter will will a blacksmith do

The spinster's eyes opened wide when

She heard the almighty one

In a trembling voice she replied lord

Any man is better than none

Where upon the joyous blacksmith

Went home at the trot

Dressed up to kill in a tick

Went and asked her if she'd have him or not

And she said yes damn quick

Because she knew her state it's daft to wait

When love is overdue to miss your

Cue delay or demur

In answer to a little cri de coeur

This is as much of a romance as

All of the others that you get

And not so much a song and a dance

As your Romeo and Juliet nor as wet

Because their love didn't go to

Their head no call to go berserk

The spinster went up to bed and

The blacksmith went to work

Don't smirk such loves are few

They were happy they were true

They knew their hearts' desires

As love requires with some deceits

He used his fires to boil up her sweets
