THE CHURLISH CABMAN.

The Cabman's thrifty fares,

Who would seek suburban airs,

Desire, of course, a more extended "radius;"

But, Cabby, it is clear,

Thinks quite otherwise. I fear

The controversy's growing rather "taydious."

Whether by night or day,

A fair fare the fare should pay,

And Cabby should not overcharge unduly;

But this is what riles me,

When churl Cabby will not see

A would-be fare, but just ignores him coolly.

Chorus.

"Hi! hi! Cab! Hi!" Oh, no!

On the sullen brute will go;

When he wants a fare, he's clamorous and unruly;

But if he wants a drink,

With a sneer or with a wink,

He'll rumble on and just ignore you coolly.
