The Monkey Walk Written by Edith Wright, once of Salterbeck
Around and around and around we’d march every Sunday night just after dark
By the Carnegie around the corner a kiss and a
squeeze in some dark corner
All ‘toffed’ up looking fine in our finest clothes watching boys pass by
A smile and a wink a soft hello and a new affair
may be on the go
Through Workington bus station take a peep down Murray Road to eye the meat
By the post office walking proud hoping to find a boy to ground
Innocent fun yet who can boast that on the
‘Monkey Walk’ they found there host
A beating heart, a kiss – a blush they hurray off to catch t’last bus
