THE CHINESE ARMOURER.

We seek him here, we seek him there, We seek the blighter everywhere; No one has seen him, but everyone knows, That when he’s around, it’s trouble he sows. He’s always about when work we commence, For one of his names is “Ah Punk Dense”; But his names are many, as many as flies, For instance, “Who Dit It” also applies. When flaps are on, and bombs are to load, Our Chinky blows in to get in the road; He forgets about fuses, and pulling out pins, He “spanners the works,” he’s a boxful of sins, He tries timing guns, he thinks he’s the “tops,” Two biffs and a bang and away go our props. He pleases himself when guns are to clean, He leaves them all dirty—of course he’s not seen; At testing out fuses he’s a little bit “wonky,” For when the bomb drops, the fuse box is “konky.” When the lockup is empty and no tools can be got, It’s a ten-to-one bet, he’s swiped up the lot. When doors are to open and chests to unlock, He swipes up the keys and is gone like a shot; There are things that he does that are hard to explain, He just about driven poor sergeant insane; So here’s to the day this Chinky we get, By hokey, we wringa his plurry old neck.
