"The Coster's Mansion" sheet music cover (1899)


The image will enlarge with a click, but the text is still small, so I'll enter the text of the chorus here:
"If yer wants to see me dining-room or step into me parlour,
     Or me orfice where I contracts all my biz;
If yer wants to see me bedroom, or the place we calls the larder,
    Why, you've only got to stop just where you is."
"Coster" is a shortened version of "costermonger."

This was one of the final images posted by Miss Folly, back in 2014.
