Text is by John Carey, cited in Lipscomb, The Women are Up To Something, p. 151: ‘a teenage girl, one of the daughters, answered, and ... I asked if she would mind playing the music a little more quietly. ... “Oh,” she said, “it’s no good your complaining about that. The whole street got up a petition about us once, but it didn’t have any effect.” And with that she shut the door.’
