By going to the Lord Mayor’s show.

Such sights as these enliven the nation,

Puts trade into hands, and keeps off starvation;

And every man ought to have a good situation,

So to visit the Lord Mayor’s show.

Some is fond of a load of oatmeal & cabbages,

Some take a delight in the bare legg’d savages,

While England crime and poverty ravages,

So welcome the Lord Mayor’s show.
