| His legs were white as mayonnaise | B |
| I've had a jolly lunch he said | A |
| That Englishman of pleasant ways | B |
| Thy do us well at our hotel | C |
| In England food is dull these days | B |

| We had a big langouste for lunch | D |
| I almost ate the whole of it | E |

| And miss a lot his jolly face | K |
| But oh how all the lobsters laugh | L |
| And write in wrack his epitaph | L |
