Chorus.—For I'm Ab-dur-rahman, &c.
Now I've long had an ambition to far England for to go,
Don't you know,—that is so!
See Empress-Queen Victoria and Mister Wales also.
I'm asked to go—to that show!

(And doubtless Afghan fashions might make Victoria stare.)
But there—I swear—I'll go!—and I'm going!
Men may say "It's the Shah that this show's about!"—
And another "You're an ass, Sir!
