[From _The Humourist_ .... a choice collection oL songs. 'A New
Flash Song', p. 2]. I Come all you buffers gay, [1] That rumly do pad the city, [2] Come listen to what I do say, And it will make you wond'rous wity. II The praps are at Drury Lane, And at Covent Garden also, Therefore I tell you plain, It will not be safe for to go. III But if after a rum cull you pad [3] Pray follow him brave and bold; For many a buffer has been grab'd, For fear, as I've been told. IV Let your pal that follows behind, Tip your bulk pretty soon; And to slap his whip in time, [4] For fear the cull should be down. [5] |
