The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard

by W. S. Gilbert

The Men of London cheered.

And in a yard, dark, dank, and drear,

They found him, on the floor—

(It leads from Richmond Buildings—near

The Royalty stage-door.)

With brandy cold and brandy hot

They plied him, starved and wet,

And made him sergeant on the spot—

The Men of London's pet!
