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� �

Ballad�此�Joe Golightly ´ Or�察�The
First Lord's Daughter
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�

That sailor to that Lord Went�察�soon as he had landed�察�And of his own

Ballad�此�Gentle Alice Brown
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
