The only answer he gave to me,

Was just a chuckle and wink.

With this American tink-a-ting,

I couldn't defraud the Co.,

So caught his collar, and chucked him off

The back of the tram car, so.

There wasn't a soul that saw the deed,

Not even the driver knew,

And there he lay on the tramway track,

Till the townward car was due.
