 * And now for the ladies; oh yes—oh yes;
 * The ladies, God bless 'em; oh yes:

Who a license have got to make fools of the lot,
 * And they do it moreover, oh yes—oh yes,
 * And they do it moreover, oh yes!


 * Still we can't do without them; oh no—oh no;
 * 'Twere no fair without them, oh no:

And were they not in it, I'd not stay a minute;
 * Would you, sir? or you, sir?—Oh no! oh no!
 * I answer for all—oh no!


 * Turn which way you will, fair folks—fair folks,
 * Are hard at it still, fair folks;

Some selling, some buying, some laughing, some crying,
 * And lots of them trying, fair folks—fair folks,
 * To gammon the other fair folks.


 * There's booths, too, for gambling; come play—come play;
 * Yes, out and out gambling, come play;

Where shares, scrip and dice, clean you out in a trice;
 * They've just picked up "," come play—come play;
 * He'll.
