According to TNG, no music is known from Dibdin's Sadler's Wells dialogue The Old Woman of Eighty (1777). Although Dibdin is not named as author on the title of the song from this work, we have traced no other musical play with the same title. The text of the song differs in a number of points from that transmitted in George Hogarth's The Songs of Charles Dibdin (London, 1848). The effectiveness of the song's humorous lyrics, which brilliantly capture, as Hogarth (p.86) observed, 'the tremulous chirrup of doting senility', is infinitely enhanced by the mock-antique, minor-key musical setting.
