Genteel in personage,
Conduct, and equipage;
Noble by heritage,
Generous and free.
His cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity of cogitation.
Aldeborontiphoscophornio!
Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?
What a monstrous tail our cat has got!
To thee, and gentle Rigdom Funnidos,
Our gratulations flow in streams unbounded.
God save our gracious king!
Long live our noble king!
God save the king!
Of all the girls that are so smart,
There's none like pretty Sally.
Of all the days that's in the week
I dearly love but one day,
And that's the day that comes betwixt
A Saturday and Monday.
Go call a coach, and let a coach be called;
And let the man who calleth be the caller;
And in his calling let him nothing call
But “Coach! Coach! Coach! Oh for a coach, ye gods!”
Let the singing singers
With vocal voices, most vociferous,
In sweet vociferation out-vociferize
Even sound itself.
