Of the swells, swells, swells, swells,

Swells, swells, swells,

Does the calling and the bawling of the swells.

Here’s a drawing-room of swells—

Grand swells!

What a world of slowness their society compels

In the brilliancy of night

Don’t we instantly take fright

At the melancholy drawling of their tone?

Lisping through their tender throats
