 * Take a peep at this building. Be quick—be quick;
 * Take a peep at this building. Be quick:

'Tis the house where the lords deal in high sounding words,
 * And that's about all. Be quick—be quick;
 * Don't waste your time. Be quick.


 * There will be the place, just now, just now;
 * That will be the place, just now;

But faith, they must tarry, and wait for 'Squire Barry,
 * Who seems in no hurry, just now—just now,
 * Who appears in no hurry, just now.


 * Here's the of St. Paul's; walk up—walk up;
 * Just a going to begin—walk up;

It seems an abuse, nor yet just the use
 * A church should be put to; walk up—walk up;
 * The charge ; walk up.


 * And here stands another; fork out—fork out;
 * A sort of twin brother; fork out;

This is Westminster Abbey, and there's a fat babby,
 * Both charge the same price; fork out—fork out,
 * Both charge the same price; fork out.
