I’ll get from my tailor unlimited tick
(Said I to myself, said I).
When the “shop” is shut up, and the evening begun
(Said I to myself, said I),
I’ll then sally forth for some frolic and fun
(Said I to myself, said I),
I’ll ogle the girls at the Gaiety bar,
Or, soothed by the smoke of a pipe or cigar,
I’ll list to the song of the music-hall star
(Said I to myself, said I).
