HawA
Ai've just obteened a pension for mai PawA
And you should hev seen the people that were theahB
Re ally it was surpraisingC
Maind Ai am not criticaisingC
But it was embarrassing Ai do decleahD
Ai met the Snobson Smythes and Toady Browns and many moahE
Belonging to ouah set and wondahed what they came theah foahF
-
And of course Ai didn't say a word of PawA
Ai rather think they've nevah heard of PawA
But Ai thought it well to mentionG
That Ai came to get the pensionG
For an aged person who had worked for MawA
The Snobson Smythes said 'Fancy That is just why we came dahn '-
But Ai've heard they hev a mothah hidden somewheah out of tahnG
-
HawA
Ai do deserve some gratitude from PawA
To think what Ai've gone thro' foah him to dayH
Mixing with the lowah classesI
And Ai never saw such massesI
Of disreputable creatuahs Ai must sayH
Imposters Ai've no doubt if most of them were but unmaskedJ
And then the most humiliating questions Ai was askedJ
-
Yes he forced me to admit it was foah PawA
Asked me brutally if it was foah mai PawA
Some low bred official fellowD
Who conversed in quaite a bellowD
And he patronised me laike a high BashawA
And his questions rudely personal Ai hardly could enduahJ
The Government should teach its people mannahs Ai am suahH
-
HawA
Ai'm glad we've got the pension foah Pooah PawA
His maintenance has been O such a strainG
Ouah establishment's extensiveF
And exceedingly expensiveF
As mai husband has remawked taime and againG
It's quaite a miracle how Ai contrive to dress at allD
He cut me dahn to twenty guineas for last Mayoral BallD
-
And it's such a boah to hev to think of PawA
To hev a secret skeleton laike PawA
Paw you know was once a diggahC
And he cuts no social figgahC
And his mannahs O they touch us on the rawK
Of course we're very fond of him and all thet sort of thingC
But we couldn't hev him could we when theah's naice folk visitingC
-
HawA
It's cost us pawnds and pawnds to care foah PawA
And then it is so hard to keep him dawkC
Why no later then last Mond'yJ
Ai was out with Lady GrundyJ
When we ran raight into him outsaide the PawkC
Goodness knows Ai managed somehow to elude him with a nodJ
And Ai said he was a tradesman but she must hev thought it oddJ
-
You can't picture the ubiquity of PawA
And he's really very obstinate is PawA
Why he held to the contentionG
That this most convenient pensionG
Was a thing he hadn't any raight to drawA
He said we'd kept him eighteen months and ought to keep him yetJ
But mai husband soon convinced him that he couldn't count on thetJ
-
HawA
He was a pioneah you know mai PawA
But of mai early laife Ai never tellD
Paw worked as Ai hev statedJ
And he had us educatedJ
And later on Ai married rather wellD
And then you know deah Paw became er well embarrassingC
For he is so unconventional and all thet sort of thingC
-
But the Government has taken ovah PawA
We are happy now we've aisolated PawA
And a bettah era's dawningC
For mai husband said this mawningC
Thet the money saved would buy a motah cawC
Paw was so good to us when we were young that you'll allowD
It's really taime the Government did something foah him nowD
