I checked out "Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road" on this useful site and found verses I did not know- thanks. But, the second verse is missing.
Tothe best of my recollection it goes
"Nah, gel, I've some sorry news to tell-
Your rich uncle dahn in Camberwell
Pops off, cos 'e wasn't very well-
'e's left to you 'is little donkey shay."
(A "shay" might be a contraction of "chaise", a small light horse-drawn carriage.)
Without this verse the rest makes no sense...
