              Ballad�此�The Three Kings Of 

                            Chickeraboo 



    There were three niggers of Chickeraboo ´ PACIFICO�察�BANG´BANG�察�

POPCHOP ´ who Exclaimed�察�one terribly sultry day�察 �Oh�察�let's be kings in 

a humble way。; 

    The first was a highly´accomplished ;bones�察─�The next elicited banjo 

tones�察�The third was a quiet�察�retiring chap�察�Who danced an excellent break´ 

down ;flap。; 

     ;We niggers�察─�said they�察 �have formed a plan By which�察�whenever we 

like�察�we can Extemporise kingdoms near the beach�察�And then we'll collar a 

kingdom each。 

     ;Three casks�察�from somebody else's stores�察�Shall represent our island 

shores�察�Their sides the ocean wide shall lave�察�Their heads just topping the 

briny wave。 

     ;Great Britain's navy scours the sea�察�And everywhere her ships they be�察�

She'll   recognise    our  rank�察  �perhaps�察  �When    she   discovers   we're   Royal 

Chaps。 

     ;If to her skirts you want to cling�察�It's quite sufficient that you're a king�察�

She does not push inquiry far To learn what sort of king you are。; 

    A   ship   of   several   thousand   tons�察  �And   mounting   seventy´something 

guns�察   �Ploughed�察   �every   year�察  �the  ocean   blue�察  �Discovering    kings   and 

countries new。 

    The     brave    REAR´ADMIRAL            BAILEY      PIP�察  �Commanding        that 

magnificent ship�察�Perceived one day�察 �his glasses through�察�The kings that 

came from Chickeraboo。 

     ;Dear eyes� ─�said ADMIRAL PIP�察 �I see Three flourishing islands on 

our lee。 And�察�bless me� �most remarkable thing� �On every island stands a 

king� �

     ;Come�察  �lower   the   Admiral's   gig�察─  �he   cried�察   �And   over   the   dancing 

waves   I'll   glide�察  �That   low   obeisance   I   may   do   To   those   three   kings   of 

Chickeraboo� ─�

     The    Admiral     pulled    to  the   islands   three�察  �The   kings    saluted   him 

graciousLEE。   The   Admiral�察  �pleased   at   his   welcome   warm�察  �Unrolled   a 

printed Alliance form。 

     ;Your Majesty�察�sign me this�察�I pray ´ I come in a friendly kind of way ´ 

I   come�察  �if   you   please�察  �with   the   best   intents�察�And   QUEEN  VICTORIA'S 

compliments。; 

     The kings were pleased as they well could be�察�The most retiring of the 

three�察   �In   a  ;cellar´flap;    to   his  joy   gave    vent   With    a   banjo´bones 

accompaniment。 

     The   great   REAR´ADMIRAL   BAILEY   PIP   Embarked   on   board   his 

jolly big ship�察�Blue Peter flew from his lofty fore�察�And off he sailed to his 

native shore。 

     ADMIRAL          PIP   directly    went    To   the   Lord    at  the   head   of   the 

Government�察�Who made him�察�by a stroke of a quill�察�BARON DE PIPPE�察�

OF PIPPETONNEVILLE。 

     The College of Heralds permission yield That he should quarter upon 

his shield Three islands�察�VERT�察�on a field of blue�察�With the pregnant motto 

;Chickeraboo。; 

     Ambassadors�察�yes�察�and attaches�察�too�察�Are going to sail for Chickeraboo。 

And�察  �see�察  �on   the   good   ship's   crowded   deck�察�A  bishop�察  �who's   going   out 

there on spec。 

     And   let   us   all   hope   that   blissful   things   May   come   of   alliance   with 

darky   kings�察  �And�察  �may   we   never�察  �whatever   we   do�察  �Declare   a   war   with 

Chickeraboo� �

     A  tar�察  �but   poorly   prized�察  �Long�察  �shambling�察  �and   unsightly�察  �Thrashed�察�

bullied�察�and despised�察�Was wretched JOE GOLIGHTLY。 

     He   bore   a   workhouse   brand�察  �No   Pa   or   Ma   had   claimed   him�察  �The 

Beadle found him�察�and The Board of Guardians named him。 

     P'r'aps   some   Princess's   son   ´ A  beggar   p'r'aps   his   mother。   HE   rather 

thought the one�察�I rather think the other。 

     He liked his ship at sea�察�He loved the salt sea´water�察�He worshipped 

junk�察�and he Adored the First Lord's daughter。 

     The First Lord's daughter�察�proud�察�Snubbed Earls and Viscounts nightly�察�

She sneered at Barts。 aloud�察�And spurned poor Joe Golightly。 

     Whene'er he sailed afar Upon a Channel cruise�察�he Unpacked his light 

guitar And sang this ballad ��Boosey���此�

     It   was   a   robber's   daughter�察 �and   her name   was ALICE  BROWN�察  �Her 

father  was   the   terror   of   a   small   Italian   town�察  �Her   mother   was   a   foolish�察�

weak�察�but amiable old thing�察�But it isn't of her parents that I'm going for to 

sing。 

     As ALICE was a´sitting at her window´sill one day�察�A beautiful young 

gentleman he chanced to pass that way�察�She cast her eyes upon him�察�and 

he looked so good and true�察�That she thought�察 �I could be happy with a 

gentleman like you� ─�

     And   every   morning   passed   her   house   that   cream   of   gentlemen�察  �She 

knew she might expect him at a quarter unto ten�察�A sorter in the Custom´ 

house�察�it was his daily road ��The Custom´house was fifteen minutes' walk 

from her abode��。 

     But   ALICE   was   a   pious   girl�察  �who   knew   it   wasn't   wise   To   look   at 

strange   young   sorters     with   expressive     purple   eyes�察  �So   she   sought   the 

village   priest   to   whom   her   family   confessed�察  �The   priest   by   whom   their 

little sins were carefully assessed。 

     ;Oh�察�holy father�察─�ALICE said�察 �'t would grieve you�察�would it not�察�To 

discover that I was a most disreputable lot�拭�Of all unhappy sinners I'm the 

most unhappy one� ─�The padre said�察 �Whatever have you been and gone 

and done�拭─�

     ;I have helped mamma to steal a little kiddy from its dad�察�I've assisted 

dear papa in cutting up a little lad�察�I've planned a little burglary and forged 

a little cheque�察�And slain a little baby for the coral on its neck� ─�

     The worthy pastor heaved a sigh�察�and dropped a silent tear�察�And said�察�

;You   mustn't   judge   yourself   too   heavily�察  �my   dear�此  �It's   wrong   to   murder 

babies�察�little corals for to fleece�察�But sins like these one expiates at half´a´ 

crown apiece。 

     ;Girls will be girls ´ you're very young�察�and flighty in your mind�察�Old 

heads upon young shoulders we must not expect to find�此�We mustn't be too 

hard upon these little girlish tricks ´ Let's see ´ five crimes at
