There was a queer chap they called Bubhlo Q, (Him as writes for old Jemmy Doubledo,) Which he takes up a pen, And says he, “ Now my men, I’m thinking it’s me that’ll trouble you." There was a fierce cove called Quietus, And we was afeer'd as he’d eat us, But he didn’t do that, But he put on his bat, And then he turned to and he beat us. There was an old card they called Janus, And he was as “ square” as a Vanns, Says he, “Now look out, Vm going to spout, And that’ll toon settle your hsl*usss ”
