And hastening to Old Nick,

By expending time and money on dancing, dicing, belles,

Are the swells, swells, swells, swells,

Swells, swells, swells!

Are the foolish and profligate young swells.

See the dressy little swells—

Snobby swells!

What a world of happiness that Moses’ paletot tells!

Through the murky air of night,

How they shout out their delight,
