Thick male east londong cockeny accent, You’ll want a plinky-plonk upright piano, bangin’ out jaunty tunes wiv a bit o’ swagger — left 'and stompin’ the bass, right 'and trillin’ like it’s late at night an’ yer three gins in, Add a squeezebox (accordion) wheezin’ in time, proper for slow bits or sentimental verses, Bring in a fiddle sawin’ away like a cat in a fight, makin’ every chorus sound like a street party, A washboard or spoons keeps rhythm snappy, bit o’ clatter to match the chatter, Chuck in a double bass doin’ the old oompah-oompah for some bottom bounce, And of course, a tenor banjo for that skiffly skip — plink-plink, strum-strum, Last but not least, you need a crowd — shoutin’, clappin’, stompin’, laughin’ between lines an’ joinin’ in the chorus like it’s their round, Proper Cockney
