On p.106 (of the book, not the number counter at the top of the screen) the following lyrics complete those in the OP.
"Along and up that street I stroll
My gait a swaggering lofty roll
The kids all jeer and scoff
But well they know that I'm a TOFF"
That is from
The Apollo Flight
By The Late
Norman R Hamilton-Smith, AFC.
That places the song back to the Second World War.
