But I’m now a good goody young man, A head rather “Woody” young man: Body quite rickety, pose plas-tickety, Never go wrong young man. I once was a three-and-six dinner young man, And at table knew which was the best end; But now you would not find a thinner young man Tho’ you walk from the East to the West End. Two steps and a stop (_echo_) A skip and a hop (_echo_) I require but a puff and a fan; I’m a Regent Street cuttery, skip o’er the guttery, New bread and buttery man. _Chorus_―― I’m a worship the lily young man, Crutch and tooth pick-a-dilly young man, Cracked in the filberty, Burnand and Gilberty, Strike you with paper young man. HARRY ADAMS. This song was set to music by E. Jonghmans, and published by Francis, Bros. & Day, London. There were also some additional verses, but they were inferior to the above. ―――― SIR WILFRID LAWSON.
