II

You ain't forgotten 'ow we drove that day

Down to the Welsh 'Arp, in my donkey shay;

Folks with a "chy-ike" shouted, "Ain't they smart?" [1]

You looked a queen, me every inch a Bart.

Seemed that the moke was saying "Do me proud;"

Mine is the nobbiest turn-out in the crowd; [2]

Me in my "pearlies" felt a toff that day, [3]

Down at the Welsh 'Arp, which is Endon way.

Oh, 'Arriet, &c.
