Oh it's pleasant sitting here	A
Seeing all the people pass	B
You beside your bock of beer	C
I behind my demi tasse	B
Chatting of no matter what	D
You the Mummer I the Bard	E
Oh it's jolly is it not	F
Sitting on the Boulevard	E
	-
More amusing than a book	G
If a chap has eyes to see	B
For no matter where I look	G
Stories stories jump at me	B
Moving tales my pen might write	H
Poems plain on every face	B
Monologues you could recite	H
With inimitable grace	B
	-
Ah Imagination's power	I
See yon demi mondaine there	J
Idly toying with a flower	I
Smiling with a pensive air	J
Well her smile is but a mask	K
For I saw within her muff	L
Such a wicked little flask	K
Vitriol ugh the beastly stuff	L
	-
Now look back beside the bar	M
See yon curled and scented beau	N
Puffing at a fine cigar	M
Sale esp ce de maquereau	M
Well of course it's all surmise	B
It's for him she holds her place	B
When he passes she will rise	B
Dash the vitriol in his face	B
	-
Quick they'll carry him away	O
Pack him in a Red Cross car	M
Her they'll hurry so they say	O
To the cells of St Lazare	O
What will happen then you ask	K
What will all the sequel be	B
Ah Imagination's task	K
Isn't easy let me see	B
	-
She will go to jail no doubt	P
For a year or maybe two	Q
Then as soon as she gets out	P
Start her bawdy life anew	Q
He will lie within a ward	R
Harmless as a man can be	B
With his face grotesquely scarred	E
And his eyes that cannot see	B
	-
Then amid the city's din	S
He will stand against a wall	T
With around his neck a tin	S
Into which the pennies fall	T
She will pass I see it plain	U
Like a cinematograph	L
She will halt and turn again	V
Look and look and maybe laugh	L
	-
Well I'm not so sure of that	W
Whether she will laugh or cry	M
He will hold a battered hat	W
To the lady passing by	M
He will smile a cringing smile	X
And into his grimy hold	Y
With a laugh or sob the while	X
She will drop a piece of gold	Y
	-
Bless you lady he will say	O
And get grandly drunk that night	H
She will come and come each day	O
Fascinated by the sight	H
Then somehow he'll get to know	N
Maybe by some kindly friend	Z
Who she is and so and so	N
Bring my story to an end	Z
	-
How his heart will burst with hate	A2
He will curse and he will cry	M
He will wait and wait and wait	A2
Till again she passes by	M
Then like tiger from its lair	M
He will leap from out his place	B
Down her clutch her by the hair	M
Smear the vitriol on her face	B
	-
Ah Imagination rare	M
See he takes his hat to go	N
Now he's level with her chair	M
Now she rises up to throw	N
God and she has done it too	Q
Oh those screams those hideous screams	B
I imagined and it's true	Q
How his face will haunt my dreams	B
	-
What a sight It makes me sick	B2
Seems I am to blame somehow	C2
Garcon fetch a brandy quick	B2
There I'm feeling better now	C2
Let's collaborate we two	Q
You the Mummer I the Bard	E
Oh what ripping stuff we'll do	Q
Sitting on the Boulevard	E
