THE CHICKALEARY COVE [Notes]
[_c_. 1864]
I
I'm a 'Chickaleary bloke' with my one, two, three, [1]
Whitechapel was the village I was born in, For to get me on the hop, or on my tibby drop, [2]
You must wake up very early in the morning.
I have a rorty gal, also a knowing pal, [3]
And merrily together we jog on, I doesn't care a flatch, as long as I've a tach, [4]
Some pannum for my chest, and a tog on. [5]

II
Now kool my downy kicksies--the style for me, [6]
Built on a plan werry naughty, The stock around my squeeze a guiver colour see, [7]
And the vestat with the bins so rorty, [8]
My tailor serves you well, from a perger to a swell, [9]
At Groves's you're safe to make a sure pitch, [10]
For ready yenom down, there ain't a shop in town, [11]
Can lick Groves in The Cut as well as Sh.o.r.editch. [12]
I'm a Chickaleary bloke, etc.
III
Off to Paris I shall go, to show a thing or two To the dipping blokes what hangs about the caffes, [13]
How to do a cross-fam, for a super, or a slang, [14]
And to bustle them grand'armes I'd give the office: Now my pals I'm going to slope, see you soon again, I hope, My young woman is awaiting, so be quick; Now join in a chyike, the jolly we all like, [15]
I'm off with a party to the Vic.
I'm a Chickaleary bloke, etc.
