II

Some says nasty things about the moke, [6]

One cove thinks 'is leg is really broke, [7]

That's 'is envy, cos we're carriage folk,

Like the toffs as rides in Rotten Row!

Straight! it woke the alley up a bit, [8]

Thought our lodger would 'ave 'ad a fit,

When my missus, who's a real wit,

Says, "I 'ates a Bus, because it's low!"

"Wot cher!" &c.
