While I am clothed from head to feet

And covered from the cold.

While honest Paupers scarce can tell

Where they may lay their head,

I have a warm and well-aired cell,

With bath-room, gas, and bed.

While Paupers live on workhouse fare,

A grudged and scanty meal,

My table’s spread with bread and beer,

And beef, or pork, or veal.
