Blokes Gus | D2 |
Do you know Gus Now he should interest you | E2 |
The girls adore him or he thinks they do | E2 |
He owns a motor bike not of the sort | E |
That merely cough a little bit or snort | E |
His is a fiery detonating steed | E |
That makes the town sit up and take some heed | E |
A thunderous thing that booms and roars a treat | E |
With repercussions that awake the street | E |
- | |
That's Gus Dead flash One of the rorty boys | F2 |
Whose urge is to express themselves with noise | F2 |
He wakes the midnight echoes when to sleep | G2 |
We vainly strive with detonations deep | G2 |

Of maidens who sit up in bed and sigh | A |

'Mid Jovian thunders riding up the hill ' | - |

Blokes Bert | E |
Did you ever meet Bert 'E's all over the town | J2 |
In offices shops an' in various places | K2 |
Cocky an' all an' you can't keep 'im down | J2 |
I never seen no one so lucky at races | K2 |
Backs all the winners or very near all | L2 |
Tells you nex' day when the races are over | M2 |
'E makes quite a pot for 'is wagers ain't small | L2 |
An' by rights 'e 'ad ought to be livin' in clover | M2 |
- | |
But some'ow or other aw well I dunno | K |
You got to admit that some fellers is funny | U |
'E don't dress too well an' 'is spendin' is low | K |
I can't understand wot 'e does with 'is money | U |
'E ought to be sockin' a pretty fair share | S |
An' tho' 'e will own 'e's a big money maker | M2 |
'E don't seem to save an' 'e don't seem to care | S |
If 'e owes a big wad to 'is butcher an' baker | M2 |
- | |
'E don't tell you much if you meet on the course | N2 |
But after it's over 'e comes to you grinnin' | U |
Shows you 'is card where 'e's marked the first 'orse | N2 |
An' spins you a wonderful tale of 'is winnin' | U |
Can't make 'im out 'e's so lucky an' that | E |
Knows ev'ry owner an' trainer an' jockey | U |
But all of 'is wagerin's done on 'is pat | E |
Won't spill a thing even tho' 'e's so cocky | U |
- | |
Oyster that's Bert 'E's as close as a book | A2 |
But sometimes I've come on 'im sudden an' saw 'im | C |
Lip 'angin' down an' a reel 'aggard look | A2 |
Like all the woes in the world come to gnaw 'im | C |
But soon as 'e sees you 'e brightens right up | O2 |
'Picked it again lad ' 'e sez to you grinnin' | U |
'A fiver at sevens I 'ad in the Cup | O2 |
That's very near sixty odd quid that I'm winnin' ' | - |
- | |
Mystery man that's 'is style for a cert | E |
Picks the 'ole card yet 'e's shabby and seedy | E |
'E must 'ave some sorrer in secrit ole Bert | E |
Some drain on 'is purse wot is keepin' 'im needy | E |
A terrible pity Some woman no doubt | E |
No wonder 'e worries in secrit an' souses | N2 |
If I 'ad 'is winnin's year in an' year out | E |
Why I'd own a Rolls Royce an' a terris of 'ouses | N2 |
