The servants ushered the company in,

Heigho! says Gobble;

The dinner is ready, quoth Tom, with a grin,

So he tucked a napkin under his chin,

With his handy dandy, bacon and gravy,

Ah, hah, says alderman Gobble,

Then Betty the cook-maid she gave a squall,

Heigho! says Gobble;

Poor John the footman has had a fall,

And down stairs tumbled, ven’son and all,
