Whitout an banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockrouches served in a canister

He will curse the day
Somebody named him

Long overdue for a sweeping out
Which we'll push him up,
And one day next year with the rats he'll be creeping out.

He will rue the day somebody name him...

And then put him on sale,
For the highest bid
Glad to be rid

Collect his belongings then bring him back to me
when you've done.
To bed, all of you!
