Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE EE FEFE| While waiting debating I stated before | A |
| Jack Merdle drove up in his carriage and bays | B |
| Halloo said the banker I see you're ashore | A |
| No wonder this weather is all in a haze | B |
| But come in my carriage and truly confess | C |
| You're a victim of hunger and dinner down town | D |
| A case of most common distressing distress | C |
| When dining in public with Jones Smith or Brown | D |
| Or some other practical men of the nation | E |
| Is worse on the whole than a little starvation | E |
| - | |
| But come home with me for the sake of Lang Syne | E |
| And see Mrs Merdle and see how we dine | E |
| - | |
| I must not expect he advised in advance | F |
| To meet with a dinner got up in perfection | E |
| But must run the risk of the luck and the chance | F |
| As candidates do on the day of election | E |
