| Dear Sir or Madam | B |
| As the case may be | C |
| When Britain first | D |
| At Heaving's command | E |
| Arose from out | F |
| The azure main | G |
| This was the chawter | H |
| Of that land | E |
| And gawdian a a a a angels | I |
| Sang this strain | G |
| Don't you think so | J |
| For my own part | K |
| I am quite sure of it | L |
| Monday night convinced me | C |
| Mafeking night | A |
| As you may remember | H |
| Was a honeyed | A |
| And beautiful affair | H |
| But | A |
| Peace night | A |
| I think | M |
| Really outdid it in splendours | J |
| At the cafe | N |
| Which I most frequent | A |
| All was Peace | J |
| Round the table next mine | O |
| There were seventeen Jews | J |
| With a Union Jack | P |
| Ever and anon | O |
| Between drinks as it were | H |
| They held up | Q |
| That Union Jack | P |
| And yelled | A |
| Shend him victoriouth | R |
| 'Appy and gloriouth | R |
| Long to o reign over uth | R |

| I wonder my dear Sir or Madam | B |
| Why the Jews are so pleased | A |
| I can't make it out | A |
| Howsomever | H |
| Pleased they are | H |
| And a pleased Jew | S |
| Is worth a king's ransom | B |
| Or words to that effect | A |
| Peace my dear Sir or Madam | B |
| Is a chaste and choice | J |
| Thing | T |
| - | |
| Outside the aforesaid cafe | N |
| The crowd | A |
| Was so numerous | J |
| And exuberant | A |
| That I was compelled | A |
| Much to my annoyance of course | J |
| To remain inside | A |
| Till closing time | U |
| Then I went home | V |
| In the friendly embrace | J |
| Of a four wheeler | H |
| For a little while | W |
| There was much shouting and yelling and roaring and squeaking and singing | T |
| And then I knew | S |
| No more | H |
| My cab | X |
| Bowled away | N |
| Through the sweet evening air | H |
| That is to say | N |
| If the common or Regent Street growler | H |
| Ever does bowl away | N |
| And all the time | U |
| I snored | A |
| Duly awakened | A |
| Outside my bungalow | J |
| I raked up the fare | H |
| And in reply to kind enquiries | N |
| In the hall | Y |
| I remarked | A |
| Peace O woman of mine | O |
| Peace | N |
