Fat or lean ones, both I’ll buy;
But if so be you’d have my coin
You must cut them off the loin!
When the cook for nothing stops,
That’s the time for mutton chops!
Mutton chops, mutton chops, chops I cry,
I as hungry am as dry;
Let me have them nice and hot.
With a murphy and shalot!
Heaven bless the butchers’ shops,—
