The Sergeant's Song

When Lawyers strive to heal a breach,     And Parsons practise what they preach;     Then Little Boney he'll pounce down,     And march his men on London town!     Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lorum,     Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay!     When Justices hold equal scales,     And Rogues are only found in jails;     Then Little Boney he'll pounce down,     And march his men on London town!     Rollicum-rorum, &c.     When Rich Men find their wealth a curse,     And fill therewith the Poor Man's purse;     Then Little Boney he'll pounce down,     And march his men on London town!     Rollicum-rorum, &c.     When Husbands with their Wives agree,     And Maids won't wed from modesty;     Then Little Boney he'll pounce down,     And march his men on London town!     Rollicum-rorum, tol-tol-lorum,     Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay!     1878.     Published in "The Trumpet-Major," 1880.
