PARODIES OF “TEN LITTLE NIGGER BOYS.”
There was a parody of this song in “The Rise and Fall of Richard III.,” a burlesque by F. C. Burnand, produced at the New Royalty Theatre, Soho, in 1868. It possesses little interest apart from the context.
Song by Baron Albert Grant.
Ten Joint Stock Companies, none of which were mine,
One got into Chancery, and then there were Nine!
Nine Joint Stock Companies, all with prospects great,
One never paid at all, then there were Eight!
Eight Joint Stock Companies, one a mine in Devon,
The sea got into that, and then there were Seven!
