Narrow Trousers in Pimlico
When the wallet of the wealthy with fivers stiff is stuffed
Sing Ho! for the life of a bear!
When the maid has turned the bed down, and pillows all are fluffed
Why should a hedonist care?
Why should anyone care?
When the pockets of the pauper wave idly in the wind
Sing Hey! for the life of a Pooh!
When the maid has turned the man down, and he's not a bit thick-skinned
What can a masochist do?
What can anyone do?
When the brimstone of Beelzebub reeks pungent through the land
Sing Hush! for the Name of the Rose
When the townsfolk have been banished, and no revenge is planned
When can the vigilant doze?
When can anyone doze?
