The racket for a dram;
Though Scamp the ballad-singing kid, Call'd me his darling frow, [4] I've tip'd them all the double, for [5] The sake of rowling Joe. _Chorus_. Therefore, in jolly chorus now, Let's chaunt it altogether, And let each cull's and doxy's heart [6] Be lighter than a feather; And as the kelter runs quite flush, [7] Like _natty_ shining _kiddies_, To treat the coaxing, giggling brims, [8] With spunk let's post our _neddies_; [9] Then we'll all roll in _bub_ and _grub_, [10] Till from this ken we go, [11] Since rowling Joe's tuck'd up with Moll, And Moll's tuck'd up with Joe. [1: tramping; pick-pocket] [2: pickpocket] [3: paid for] [4: woman, girl] [5: jilted] [6: man; woman] [7: money] [8: whores] [9: spirit; spend our guineas] |
