164 Now, us blokes out 'ere,

We knows old Fritzie ain't so bad as 'e's painted

(An' likely, they knows the same about us).

Wot I mean is, 'e ain't no worse than wot we are,

Take 'im man fer man.

There's good an' bad on both sides.

But do you think you can s'y anything good

About a German, w'en yer in Lunnon?

Strike me pink! They won't believe you!

'E's a 'Un, wotever that is,

Some kind o' wild beast, I reckon—

A cross between a snake

An' one o' them boars with 'orns on their noses

Out at Regent's Park Zoo.
