Till he smelt the sound of the Fleet Street stunt

And over the hillside came the Hunt.


Over the hillside, clop, clip, clep,

And the dappled beauties, Ginger and Pep,

Live Wire, Thruster, Fetch Him and Snatch Him,

They were coming to bite him and pinch him and scratch him,

Whimpering, nosing, scenting his crimes,

The Evening News and The Morning Times.

"Yooi! On to him! Yooi there!" Hounds were in;
