The spit -rose up like a Naked Man.
And says he'd fight the dripping pan
The dripping pan rose up in frail.
And says the Broom must go to jail.
4
The Tongs was standing by the fire side
He stood on his long legs and cried
I'll fight the spit that long back thief
For all hos work is roasting Beef.
6
The fire shovel heard the noise
He jumped in says "whats the Matter Boys"?
I'll take the tongs and pokers part
They work with me about the harth.The flesh Fork then came in so bright
And Jumped into the middle of the fight
He at the fire shovel made a stob
And hit his body against the Hob. When he received that mortal wound.
He lay dead upon the ground
Ah! I fear my back in broke
I'll never fight another stroke.(continues on next page)
