JOHNNY SC—TT AND TOMMY C—RR.

Reading edition

A DIALOGUE.

Sc—tt—Ah! woe's me! what shall I do, Tommy C—rr, Tommy C—rr? For I have most cause to rue, Tommy C—rr! Though your costs are very great, Yet much harder is my fate— I may shut the Kitty gate, Tommy C—rr! C—rr—I will soon be clear of mine, Johnny Sc—tt, Johnny Sc—tt! For I will myself confine, Johnny Sc—tt! Just for three short weeks or so, Up the nineteen steps I'll go, And be wash'd as white as snow, Johnny Sc—tt! Sc—tt—Oh! that tyrant of a Judge, Tommy C—rr, Tommy C—rr! He has surely had some grudge, Tommy C—rr! Can we gain our honest bread, Now when cut off in full trade, We who've been so long well fed, Tommy C—rr! C—rr—Oh! how trifling was our chance, Johnny Sc—tt, Johnny Sc—tt! Oh! had Scarlett been at France, Johnny Sc—tt! Brougham's help was all we had, Well he knew our case was bad; And au'd Bayley frown'd like mad, Johnny Sc—tt! Sc—tt—I my huckstering shop may let, Tommy C—rr, Tommy C—rr! No more customers we'll get, Tommy C—rr! Mrs. Sc—tt has room to growl, There is not one hungry soul For to buy a penny roll, Tommy C—rr! C—rr—Let us curse the day and hour, Johnny Sc—tt, Johnny Sc—tt! That depriv'd us of our power, Johnny Sc—tt! Fam'd Newcastle's rattling boys Will kick up a thund'ring noise, And for fun will black our eyes, Johnny Sc—tt!
