Curtail the ladies crinoline,—Little Johnny, O,
And save us from broken shins,—Little Johnny, O,
And as Gladstone gave us cheap tea,
From heavy taxes set us free,
And crush monopoly,—Little Johnny, O.
Save us from starvation’s evil,—Little Johnny, O,
And from meat that’s got the measles,—Little Johnny, O,
Let the poor have wholesome food,
And a loaf that’s cheap and good,
Gain our praise I’m sure you would,—Little Johnny, O.
