Extra Information A humorous song regarding a popular form of Victorian entertainment, especially among the middle classes. This form of Victorian entertainment is minstrels. Ivimey comically lays out on composing one of these numbers, with imitation banjos and American states. Contains offensive language, which was normal in the time period of the song. Any objections should be directed to my Important Notice on my profile.
