Bah! let me sing about St. Giles,

And chronicle the sin of toddy.

Long years ago, St. Martin’s Fields

Were ripe with grain and purple clover

Where grisly thieves the kitchen shields,

And yellow ’busses topple over.

The very spot, where rose the lark

To sing its song to all creation,

Is given over after dark

To deathly deeds and desolation.
