To please the splendid women wot 'ave bin an' won the War."

Of course there may be drawbacks, but you can't get all you wish,
For aprons ain't quite overalls an' cookin' ain't munish.

An' it's Polly this, an' Polly that, an' anythink you please;
An' Polly ain't a bloomin' fool—you bet that Polly sees!
