Ag Pleez Deddy

"Ag Pleez Deddy" (also known as "The Ballad of the Southern Suburbs") is a South African song written and recorded by Jeremy Taylor, and released in 1962. It was written for the stage show Wait a Minim!, and has been described as the musical's "showpiece". It provides a light-hearted insight into the lives of young white working-class South Africans, whose outlook has absorbed both English-language and Afrikaans influences, along with a fascination with consumer culture. On the surface a children's song, it became broadly popular.
