For when he was born he astonished all by,

With their "Law, dear me!"

"Did ever you see?"

He'd a weed in his mouth and a glass in his eye,

A hat all awry—

An octagon tie,

And a miniature—miniature glass in his eye.

He grumbled at wearing a frock and a cap,

With his "Oh dear, no!"

And his "Hang it! 'oo know!"
