| Madam Life's a piece in bloom | B |
| Death goes dogging everywhere | C |
| She's the tenant of the room | B |
| He's the ruffian on the stair | C |
| - | |
| You shall see her as a friend | A |
| You shall bilk him once or twice | D |
| But he'll trap you in the end | A |
| And he'll stick you for her price | D |
| - | |
| With his kneebones at your chest | A |
| And his knuckles in your throat | A |
| You would reason plead protest | A |
| Clutching at her petticoat | A |
| - | |
| But she's heard it all before | E |
| Well she knows you've had your fun | F |
| Gingerly she gains the door | E |
| And your little job is done | F |
