Danc'd the Polka with Mi-istress Fry

Danc'd the Polka—the Polka with Mi-istress Fry,

Danc'd the Polka—the Polka with Mi-istress Fry.

I dreamt that Napo-le-on Bo-onaparte

Was waltzing with Madame T-e-ee;

That O'Connell, to study the regicide art,

Had a gossip with Fieschi-e-ee;

And Penn making eyes with Queen Be-ess I saw,

And Pitt taking gro-og with Fox.
