Mr Jeremiah JeffersA
Owned a pair of spotted heifersA
These he sold for two pounds tenB
To Mr Robert Raymond WrenB
Who reared them in the lucerne paddocksA
Owned by Mr Martin MaddoxA
And sold them when they grew to cowsA
To Mr Donald David DowseA
A grazier Mr Egbert InnesA
Bought them then for twenty guineasA
Milked the cows and sold the milkC
To Mr Stephen Evan SilkC
Who rents a butter factoryD
From Mr Laurence Lampard LeeD
Here once a week come for his butterE
The grocer Mr Roland RutterE
Who keeps a shop in Sunny StreetF
Next door to Mr Peter PeatF
He every afternoon at twoG
Sent his fair daughter Lucy LooG
To Mr Rutter's shop to buyH
Such things as were not priced too highH
Especially a shilling tinI
Of Fuller's Food for Folk Too ThinI
This food was bought for Lucy LooG
A girl of charming manners whoG
Was much too pale and much too slightJ
To be a very pleasant sightJ
When Lucy Loo beheld the butterE
Stocked by Mr Roland RutterE
She said I'll have a pound of thatK
She had it and thenceforth grew fatK
We now we go back to Mr JeffersA
Who sold the pair of spotted heifersA
He had a son James Edgar JohnL
A handsome lad to gaze uponL
Who had now reached that time of lifeM
When young men feel they need a wifeM
But no young girl about the placeA
Exactly had the kind of faceA
That seemed to suit James Edgar JohnL
A saddening thing to think uponL
For he grew sad and sick of lifeM
Because he could not find a wifeM
One day young James was passing byH
A look of sorrow in his eyeH
The shop of Mr Roland RutterE
When Lucy Loo came out with butterE
At once James Edgar John said ThatK
Is just the girl for me She's fatK
He offered her his heart and handN
And prospects of his father's landN
The Reverend Saul Sylvester SlightJ
Performed the simple marriage riteJ
The happy couple went their wayO
And lived and loved unto this dayO
Events cannot be far foreseenP
And all ths joy might not have beenI
If Mr Jeremiah JeffersA
Had kept his pair of spotted heifersA
