The song.

Tottie   (Musa Pedestris)

1 As she walked along the street
With her little plates of meat
And the summer sunshine falling on her golden Barnet Fair
Bright as angels from the skies
Were her dark blue Mutton Pies
In my East and West Dan Cupid shot a shaft and left it there.

2 She'd a Grecian I suppose
And of Hampstead Heath two rows
In her Sunny South they glistened like two pretty strings of pearls,
Down upon my bread and cheese
Did I drop and murmur 'Please
Be my storm and strife dear Tottie, O, you darlingest of girls'.

3 Then a bow wow by her side
Who 'til then had stood and tried
A Jenny Lee to banish, which was on his Jonahs Whale
Gave a hydrophobia bark,
She cried 'What a Noahs Ark'
And right through my rank and riches did my cribbage pegs assail.

4 Ere her bull dog I could stop
She had called a ginger pop
Who said 'What the Henry Meville do you think you're doing there' ?
And I heard as off I slunk,
'Why the fellow's Jumbo's Trunk'.
And the Walter Joyce was Totties with the golden Barnet Fair...
