The ring that I got, for savin' the wife,

Of the Monarch of Scooperaboo.

"I've a bauble that's here, on a link of my chain,

It's made of a nugget I got,

I never can know it, I'll maybe be darned!

Or drowned! or skivered! or shot!

"It's a nugget to waste, with a fellow like me,

To be sportin' it out of the shop,

Here! take it by gum! you're the mother of Jim!

Or maybe I'd put it in pop."
