WE took our work and went you see	A
To take an early cup of tea	A
We did so now and then to pay	B
The friendly debt and so did they	B
Not that our friendship burnt so bright	C
That all the world could see the light	C
'Twas of the ordinary genus	D
And little love was lost between us	D
We loved I think about as true	E
As such near neighbours mostly do	E
At first we all were somewhat dry	F
Mamma felt cold and so did I	F
Indeed that room sit where you will	G
Has draught enough to turn a mill	G
'I hope you're warm ' says Mrs G	A
'O quite so ' says mamma says she	A
'I'll take my shawl off by and by '	H
'This room is always warm ' says I	F
	-
At last the tea came up and so	I
With that our tongues began to go	I
Now in that house you're sure of knowing	J
The smallest scrap of news that's going	J
We find it there the wisest way	B
To take some care of what we say	B
	-
Says she 'there's dreadful doings still	G
In that affair about the will	G
For now the folks in Brewer's Street	K
Don't speak to James's when they meet	K
Poor Mrs Sam sits all alone	L
And frets herself to skin and bone	L
For months she managed she declares	M
All the old gentleman's affairs	M
And always let him have his way	B
And never left him night nor day	B
Waited and watched his every look	N
And gave him every drop he took	N
Dear Mrs Sam it was too bad	O
He might have left her all he had '	-
'Pray ma'am ' says I 'has poor Miss A	P
Been left as handsome as they say '	-
'My dear ' says she ''tis no such thing	J
She'd nothing but a mourning ring	J
But is it not uncommon mean	Q
To wear that rusty bombazeen '	-
'She had ' says I 'the very same	R
Three years ago for what's his name '	-
'The Duke of Brunswick very true	E
And has not bought a thread of new	E
I'm positive ' said Mrs G	A
So then we laughed and drank our tea	A
	-
'So ' says mamma 'I find it's true	E
What Captain P intends to do	E
To hire that house or else to buy	F
'Close to the tan yard ma'am ' says I	F
'Upon my word it's very strange	S
I wish they mayn't repent the change '	-
'My dear ' says she ''tis very well	T
You know if they can bear the smell '	-
	-
'Miss E ' says I 'is said to be	A
A sweet young woman is not she '	-
'O excellent I hear ' she cried	U
'O truly so ' mamma replied	U
'How old should you suppose her pray	B
She's older than she looks they say '	-
'Really ' says I ' 'she seems to me	A
Not more than twenty two or three '	-
'O then you're wrong ' says Mrs G	A
'Their upper servant told our Jane	V
She'll not see twenty nine again '	-
'Indeed so old I wonder why	F
She does not marry then ' says I	F
'So many thousands to bestow	I
And such a beauty too you know '	-
'A beauty O my dear Miss B	A
You must be joking now ' says she	A
'Her figure's rather pretty ' ' Ah	W
That's what I say ' replied mamma	P
	-
'Miss F ' says I 'I've understood	X
Spends all her time in doing good	X
The People say her coming down	Y
Is quite a blessing to the town '	-
At that our hostess fetched a sigh	F
And shook her head and so says I	F
'It's very kind of her I'm sure	Z
To be so generous to the poor '	-
'No doubt ' says she ''tis very true	E
Perhaps there may be reasons too	E
You know some people like to pass	A2
For patrons with the lower class '	-
	-
And here I break my story's thread	B2
Just to remark that what she said	B2
Although I took the other part	C2
Went like a cordial to my heart	C2
	-
Some innuendos more had passed	D2
Till out the scandal came at last	D2
'Come then I'll tell you something more '	-
Says she ' Eliza shut the door	E2
I would not trust a creature here	F2
For all the world but you my dear	G2
Perhaps it's false I wish it may	B
But let it go no further pray '	-
'O ' says mamma 'You need not fear	G2
We never mention what we hear '	-
And so we drew our chairs the nearer	H2
And whispering lest the child should hear her	H2
She told a tale at least too long	I2
To be repeated in a song	I2
We panting every breath between	Q
With curiosity and spleen	Q
And how we did enjoy the sport	J2
And echo every faint report	J2
And answer every candid doubt	K2
And turn her motives inside out	K2
And holes in all her virtues pick	L2
Till we were sated almost sick	L2
	-
Thus having brought it to a close	M2
In great good humour we arose	N2
Indeed 'twas more than time to go	I
Our boy had been an hour below	I
So warmly pressing Mrs G	A
To fix a day to come to tea	A
We muffled up in cloak and plaid	O
And trotted home behind the lad	O
