 When the fair is at the full,

In gallops a mad bull,

Puts the rabble to the rout,

Lets all the lions out;

Down falls Mrs Snip,

With a monkey on her hip,—

We shall all be swallow'd up, I declare, O.

Roaring boys, gilded toys,

Lollipops, Shilling hops,

Tumble in, just begin,

Cups and balls, wooden walls,

Gin and bitters, apple fritters,

Shins of beef, Stop thief!

Lost shoes, Kangaroos,

O Polly, where's Molly!

Bow wow, What a row!

High down, &c.

Now the beasts with hungry tooth,

In anger 'tack the booth;

Away affrighted run

Birds and eagles of the sun;

Down tumbles trot-legg'd Rolla,

Who tips 'em the view holla;

Poor Cora's in the mud—O rare O!

Spoken] Here, Valk up, ladies and, gentlemen. Here's the vonderful kangaroo from Botomhouse Bay. Here's the vonderful large baboon, that danc'd a Paddy-dow, and played at frog with the celebrated Muster Barrington.
