THE JAPAN-BLACKING MAN.
A Parody.
Not far from Charing Cross, 'tis said,
One Warren, in the Blacking trade,
Makes it on so good a plan,
That he is called the Blacking-man;
The real Japan, Jet Blacking-man,
The brilliant, dazzling Blacking-man!
No one has yet, or ever can,
Surpass this far-fam'd Blacking-man.

At No. 30 in the Strand,
The shop's well known, and close at hand,
It is the place for the real Japan,
Made by the Jet-Black Blacking-man,
The famous well-known Blacking-man,
The not-to-be-equalled Blacking-man,—
No one has yet, or ever can,
Outshine the brilliant Blacking-man.
