    Oh Mr. Stickyback I cannot help but stare.
    My face and figure are beautiful as is my golden hair.
    My mother will be delighted likewise my brother Jack.
    When They'll hear it was in Maiden Street I got my sticky back.

    So here's good luck to Sticky back may he successful be.
    Through him I got my Florrie, she's the dear old girl for me.
    And now that we are married and never mean to part.
    I wear her little sticky back in a locket next my heart.
