(1803)
When Lawyers strive to heal a breach, And Parsons practise what they preach;Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!
Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lorum, Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay!
When Justices hold equal scales, And Rogues are only found in jails;Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!
Rollicum-rorum, &c.
When Rich Men find their wealth a curse, And fill therewith the Poor Man's purse;Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!
Rollicum-rorum, &c.
When Husbands with their Wives agree, And Maids won't wed from modesty;Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!
Rollicum-rorum, tol-tol-lorum, Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay!
