English poem
EDWIN'S PILLS, &c, SONG
by John O'Keeffe (1747–1833)
A Mercer I am in a very good stile, Neat and pretty by jingo! I bow and smirk, I noddle and jerk, Then prick up and perk, And simper and smile; With my hey dong, ding dong, dingo! Lord, I am quite the thing! With my hey dong, ding dong, dingo!
At Bagnigge Wells sometimes I sip tea, At Islington sup, good stingo; I shut up my shop, And out of town pop, Then dance at a hop; He! he! he! he! he! With my hey dong, ding dong, dingo! A'n't I quite the thing? With my hey dong, ding dong, dingo!
