My life was like a London fog—

What d'ye think of that, my Cat?

What d'ye think of that, my Dog?

My Susan's taste was superfine,

As proved by bills that had no end—

I never had a decent coat—

I never had a coin to spend!

She forced me to resign my Club,

Lay down my pipe, retrench my grog—

What d'ye think of that, my Cat?
