YAWNING.
How I love to laugh!
Never was a weeper,
Tho', like a lazy calf,
Have been a mighty sleeper.
Once I got a place,
But lost it the same morning,
'Cause, in my patron's face,
I some how fell a yawning.
Yea, au, au, tol, lol, yea, au, au.
Never was a weeper,
Tho', like a lazy calf,
Have been a mighty sleeper.
Once I got a place,
But lost it the same morning,
'Cause, in my patron's face,
I some how fell a yawning.
Yea, au, au, tol, lol, yea, au, au.
Then I fell in love,
Hoping to get married,
Tried my nymph to move,
And near my point had carried,
But lost her in a pet,
'Cause, going to kiss one morning,
Just as our lips had met,
Some devil set me yawning.
Yea, &c.

Just as our lips had met,
Some devil set me yawning.
Yea, &c.
Now comes the worst mishap,
Once being shav'd so nice, Sir,
I gap'd, and Mr. Strap,
He gave me such a slice, Sir.
But all my griefs to tell
Would take a summer's morning,
So mum would be as well,
Lest I should set you yawning.
Yea, &c.
