[Verse 1]
I have led a good life full of peace and quiet
I shall have an old age full of rum and riot
I have been a good boy [?] to study
I shall have an old age ribble, coarse and bloody

[Verse 2]
I have never cut throats even when I yearn to
Never sang dirty songs that my fancy turned to
I have been a nice boy, always down what was expected
I shall be an old bum, loved but unrespected
