There's a difference between a beggar and a queen,
And I'll tell you the reason why,
A queen cannot swagger, nor get drunk as a beggar,
Nor be half so happy as I:—
And I'll tell you the reason why,
A queen cannot swagger, nor get drunk as a beggar,
Nor be half so happy as I:—
(Speaking).
To be sure, they are obliged to support a dignified character—now
I can change my character as often as I please—though, I believe, I am generally
a soliciter; for I practice at the court of requests; and as to honesty,
why honesty is—
(Once through for chorus).
