Odger is a working man,

And as clever a man as Pompey,

Odger is a gentleman,

And you are a pair of donkeys.

When Odger is returned, my boys,

To the brim we’ll fill our glasses,

We will drink success to the tanners’ wives,

And the blooming Kent Street lasses;

From the Bricklayers’ Arms to London Bridge,

There will be such a bustle,
