Now they have the Free-trade in cabs;

This Act, it is Bruce’s, the Home Secretary,

And it came into force the 1st of February,

That his ideas are grand, of course you’ll say very,

Especially the dodge of the Flags!

Oh my, is there not an uproar

About the new regulations of Bruce’s New Cab Law,

First the Cabby’s, the badge, like schoolboys they wear now,

Now it’s a Flag and a Ticket for Soup!

The Cab-horses now at their good luck are laughing,
