Shou'd sweetheart Nan look pale or wan, when I am gone away, sir,
Or shou'd she swound upon the ground, the devil a word I say, sir;
When I enter'd first my father curs'd, and call'd me simple tony,
With pig'd-tail tied, cock'd-hat beside, I'm quite a maccaroni.
Or shou'd she swound upon the ground, the devil a word I say, sir;
When I enter'd first my father curs'd, and call'd me simple tony,
With pig'd-tail tied, cock'd-hat beside, I'm quite a maccaroni.

(Speaking).
I shall ha' sweethearts enough, now, mun; for wenches, like
turkey-cocks, gobble at red rags—Nobut I shou'd do better if I cou'd but
turn my toes out; and this stock, it throttles one dandnationly. Serjeant
has found out a new way to mak one hould up one's head; for he stick a
pitch-fork under one's chin, and if you bob down, prongs goes up to your
ears, and you look like a man in a pillory—
With thingumbobs, here, &c. chorus.
