- Roche, the old cleaver,
Pulled the wrong leaver,
And killed the poor sheep in a rally,
Sure, we'll have mutton to eat
And that up-to-date,
And Dick will get fat at the Sally.
- Oh my what a fuss
Pon my word 'tis shockin' O!
No one would wed the pretty lass
The hole was on her stockin' O!Take my advice and you'll have luck
Don't think it is a bold one O!
If you can't afford to buy the new
Sit down and mend the old one O!
