    And he handed her a notice
    Saying if you do not pay the balance
    I will process you this moment
    I will auction off your articles
    Your hammock and your sofa;
    And I will write to captain Samsan "o"?
    And land you in Manitoba
    Clear off from here you dirty scamp
    Or I'll brand you with the porker
    You gave me bad commodity
    And charged me two and four pence
    Clear off you scheming rascal
    or I'll brand you with the poker
    Who gave you the authority
    To auction off my sofa!
    His Con-go tay was turnig grey
    I heard the Weavers boasting
    It would kill the Danes with a musty taste
    When they? no cash before him
    By what I hear you are always drunk
    And watching pints of porter
    But I'll call the way next Saturday
