Notes |
Text: Now, Mr. Snobby, when next you're at work, / At hammering a sole on your lap, / For the sake of the woman who'd ever
have you, / Just commit suicide with your strap. / Oh! wax'd ends and leather! tho' what do I see, / Getting toddy'd wherever
you can; / Both stupid and lazy, and shabbily dress'd, / I believe that he thinks he's a man.
