Yah! They are dreadfully down on poor Cabbies who don't toe the mark in
the matter o' pickings,
But what with the Burlington bilks, and the toffs as you can't trust too
fur when there's prospeck of nickings,
And all the mean fakes that a cabby is fly to, in fares who're well-off
and did ought to know better,
The rank doesn't think much of hupper-class 'onesty, give you _my_ word.
Now I'm off for a wetter!
