And you can be done for a guinea a week A pretty state of thing's the first night ; And a very comfortable place to come into ; And such a tidy little servant" ... to be sure ; The gent wot lives in the second floor, such a nice young man; And the second floor consumes 3 pails per week ; What half a tone of wallsend in a fortnight, impossible ; And the cat is such a thief after butter ; And what with the Cornopean and the Cats ; The first floor leaves their keys at home and the kitchen inspects their stock of tea & sugar ; And as to the cats, there's hundreds."
