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 |
c c | C |
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 |
