Personal remarks:
I came across this rare and unusual item in a second-hand bookshop in Leeds whilst on holiday there in 2000. The compilation of James Home Jnr. and Horace Phlange (co-authors of London, the Singing City and one-time joint licensees of the "The New Bull and Bush", Rainley), it contains a weird selection of old and new songs to whit:

The Ballad of Jack the Ripper
Come Outside
Champagne Charlie.
Friends and Neighbours
The Night the Floor Fell In
A Picture of You
There is a Tavern in the Town, trad.
The Whelk Song

The traditional numbers are amusingly purported to have been adapted and arrange by Pearl E. King. As the authors say, "It ain't 'arf a good book! Don't you agree? We do."
