This is the water that JOHN drinks.
This is the Thames with its cento of stink,
That supplies the water that JOHN drinks.
These are the fish that float in the ink-
y stream of the Thames with its cento of stink,
That supplies the water that JOHN drinks
This is the sewer from cesspool and sink,
That feeds the fish that float in the ink-
y stream of the Thames with its cento of stink,
That supplies the water that JOHN drinks.
These are vested int'rests, that fill to the brink,
The network of sewer from cesspool and sink,
That feed the fish that float in the ink-
y stream of the Thames with its cento of stink,
That supplies the water that JOHN drinks.
This is the price that we pay to wink,
At the vested int'rests, that fill to the brink,
The network of sewer from cesspool and sink,
That feed the fish that float in the ink-
y stream of the Thames with its cento of stink,
That supplies the water that JOHN drinks.
Punch, July-December 1849 |
