Suppose you screeve? or go cheap-jack? Or fake the broads? or fig a nag? Or thimble-rig? or knap a yack? Or pitch a snide? or smash a rag? Suppose you duff? or nose and lag? Or get the straight, and land your ***? How do you melt the multy swag? ***** and the blowens cop the lot.
Fiddle, or fence, or mace, or mack; Or moskeneer, or flash the drag; Dead-lurk a crib, or do a crack; Pad with a slang, or chuck a ***; Bonnet, or tout, or mump and gag; Rattle the tats, or mark the spot; You can not bank a single stag; ***** and the blowens cop the lot.
Suppose you try a different tack, And on the square you flash your flag? At penny-a-lining make your whack, Or with the mummers mug and gag? For nix, for nix the dibbs you bag! At any graft, no matter what, Your merry goblins soon stravag: ***** and the blowens cop the lot.
THE MORAL It's up the spout and Charley Wag With wipes and tickers and what not. Until the squeezer nips your scrag, ***** and the blowens cop the lot.
