Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 24th 2017 prompt: Music Hall
.oOOo.
It wasn't for celebration that we entered the music hall. We had just resolved a nasty case. The perpetrator would hang thus ending her awful deeds. Dr Watson was looking peaked and here was the nearest establishment offering a meal.
We forgot the case until we were blindsided by the audience joining in the raucous chorus:
Your baby has gone down the plug'ole
Your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He should’ve been bathed in a jug
And the sights of the pitiable remains and the baby farmer’s foul deeds returned.

Supplementary Notes:
Your Baby Has Gone Down the Plughole (original author and date unknown)
A mother was bathin' her baby one night
The youngest of ten, a poor little mite
The mother was fat and the baby was thin
T'was nawt but a skellington wrapped up in skin
The mother turned round for the soap from the rack
She weren't gone a minute, but when she got back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried
"Oh, where is my baby?", and the angels replied
Your baby has gone down the plug'ole
Your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He should’ve been bathed in a jug
Your baby is perfik'ly happy
He won't need no bathin' no more
He's workin' his way through the sewers
Not lost, just gone on before
