Met to taste my dishes | B |
Food in plenty is prepar'd | C |

Are they hither wending | E |

Women also I expect | I |

Never take a pleasure | O |
To my greetings they replied | Q |

Then to make our joy complete | R |

All acceded to my wish | V |

All proposed attending | E |
Johnny go and look around | F |

Are they hither wending | E |
- | |
Not a single one appears | J |
- | |
None seem this way posting | E |
All the soup boils fast away | A |
- | |
Joints are over roasting | E |
Ah I fear that we have been | L |
- | |
Rather too unbending | E |
Johnny tell me what you think | W |
- | |
None are hither wending | E |
- | |
Johnny run and quickly bring | E |
- | |
Other guests to me now | X |
Each arriving as he is | J |
- | |
That's the plan I see now | X |
In the town at once 'tis known | Y |
- | |
Every one's commending | E |
Johnny open all the doors | J |
- | |
All are hither wending | E |
