"Heading to a song printed below the (printed) title: 'Sung with great Applause by Mr. Grimaldi, in the popular Pantomime of "Harlequin Whittington"'. Grimaldi, as an English tourist in Paris, his face made up as a clown, stands full-face, left arm extended towards Paris (right): houses and spires behind a wall with an arch intended for the Arc de Triomphe. He wears a skull-cap decorated with little rosettes, with a frogged and braided overcoat (shorter than was fashionable) with deep fur cuffs and collar; flat (scarlet) slippers and clocked stockings. He holds an absurdly tall top-hat. The second of five verses: Jockies, Jews, and Parlez-vous Courtezans and Quakers, Players, Peers and Auctioneers, Parsons, Undertakers. Modish airs from Wapping-stairs, Wit from Norton Falgate, Bagatelle from Clerkenwell, And elegance from Aldgate. [Refrain] London now is out of Town Who in England Tarries ? Who can bear to linger there, When all the world's in Paris?"--British Museum online catalogue

Looby relates, in eight eight-line verses, how he is cheated and ill-used: 'And All for Life in London --' (see No. 14320, &c). Verse 6 begins: Says I--I've Toms and Jerry's seen Throughout this famous city But Lord they make themselves such apes I think it bees a pity ...
