Glass Jars filled with sherbert
Like coloured grains of sand....
The mint imperials... pure white
they sure do look grand!
Acid Drops and Apple cubes
Gosh there's so much choice
Banannas and Custard and Aniseed Rocks
They both sound ohhhhhh sooooooo nice.
Blackjacks.... not had those for years
Chocolate bonbons and Cinder Toffees
Mint Humbugs and Peaches and Cream
Alphabet letters and Liquorice Wheels
Those were the days when Sweet shops were pretty
when Gran used to take us into the city.......
50 pence each bought Many delights
our brown paper bags overflowed
What a splendid Sight.........
