He tackled the Sergeant and his deputee,

A Messenger too in the Lobby,

When in came a lot of Constabularee,—

Mister Bradlaugh he collared a Bobby—’obby—’obby;

But was collared too by that Bobby.

They fought and they tussled away down the stairs,

With many a gasp and a guggle,

And poor Daddy Longlegs, who won’t say his prayers,

Lost his collar and tails in the struggle—’uggle—’uggle.

Lost his temper and tails in the struggle.
