'E gits me on at skittles and 'e flukes, [5]

And when 'e wants to 'e can use 'is "dooks," [6]

You see 'im put 'em up, well there, it's great,

'E takes a bit of lickin at 'is weight;

'E'll stick up like a Briton for 'is pals,

An' ain't 'e just a terror with the gals;

I loves to see 'im cuttin' of a dash,

A walkin' down our alley on the mash. [7]

There, 'e's a little champion,

Do me proud well 'e's a knock out,

I've knowed 'im take a girl on six foot tall;

'E'll git 'imself up dossy, [8]

Say I'm goin' out wi' Flossie,

An' 'e only stands about so 'igh, that's all.
