And the pace we used to go!
Though our Spring is now December, And our hair is growing grey, At Paddy’s, you remember, Do you remember, eh? |
|||
|
Ha! Ha!
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! |
|||

We are so very proper, So proper, so proper But now we're getting very proper, Very proper, very proper, We are so very proper, |
|||

| Recollect the “Bal Masquè,” — | |
| Selworthy: | |
| And the lively “Pompadour.” — | |
| Pennyfather: | Selworthy: | ||
| You were | |||
| such a dog, | such a dog, | ||
| you were | |||
| such a dog, | such a dog, | ||
| you never got home 'till four! | |||
| You went as a "great grandee" | |||
| And you as an "ancient Guy" | |||
| And you were | |||
| such a dog, | such a dog, | ||
| you were | |||
| such a dog, | such a dog, | ||
| you were later still than I! | |||
| Pennyfather and Selworthy: | |||
|
But our Spring is now December, And our hair is growing grey, At Paddy’s, you remember! Do you remember, eh? |
|||
|
Ha! Ha!
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! |
|||
| But now we’re getting very proper — | |||
|
Very proper, very proper,
We are so very proper, So proper, so proper But now we're strictly proper, Very proper, very proper, We are so very proper — |
|||
| But you remember, eh? | |||
