Don't Dilly Dally On The Way is the first line of the chorus of the song My Old Man (said follow the van) [[1] (http://ingeb.org/songs/myoldman.html)], a song which was part of the repertoire of Marie Lloyd. The chorus lyrics are:
- My old man said "Follow the van
- And don't dilly dally on the way".
- Off went the van with my home packed in it
- I followed on with my old cock linnet
- I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied
- Lost my way and don't know where to roam
- Well you can't trust a special like the old time copper
- When you can't find your way home
To dilly dally is to linger.
