The Gay Ladies Polka

[Peter Dyson]

I have just added "The Gay Ladies Polka" to the Tune-o-tron (it's number 519).

 

It's a grand tune, a traditional English measure or polka. Does anyone know anything about the tune ? It seems to me to resemble a Victorian music hall tune. I wonder if it ever had words.

I cannot help you, but I asked Google. The result is very minimal . A second search on "Gay Ladies Polka" gives some more results, but still is rather disappointing.

Maybe the tune has altenative (more known) titles?

A most excellent polka; many thanks!

I tried a search on "gay ladies", some rather dubious results but none of them musical.
