The Grosvenor's nuts--it is, indeed! I goes for 'Olman 'Unt like pie. It's equal to a friendly lead To see B. Jones's judes go by. Stanhope he makes me fit to cry, Whistler he makes me melt like butter, Strudwick he makes me flash my cly-- In fact, my form's the Bloomin' Utter.

Envoy.

I'm on for any Art that's 'Igh! I talks as quite as I can splutter; I keeps a Dado on the sly; In fact, my form's the Blooming Utter!
