I went to the city once and I thought I'd have a spree
G
The Mayor of London he was there that's who I came to see
C
He dashed up at a canter in a carriage and a pair
  G
I shouted Holler boys and threw my hat up in the air
C
Just then the Mayor he began to smile

Saw my face and then he shouted Lummy what a dial

Started Lord Mayoring an' I thought that I should die

When pointing to my watch and chain and he hollered to me Hi

Just to have a little bit of fun the other day
G
Made up in my watch and chain I went and drew my pay
C
Then got out with a lot of other colonels on the loose
  G
I got full right up to here in fourp'ny stagger juice
C
One of them said we want a pot of ale

Run him to the rag shop and we'll bung him on the scale

I heard the fellow say what's in this bundle that you've got

Then whisper to me kindly do you want to lose your lot

Shan't forget when I got married to Selena Brown
    G
The way that people laughed at me it made me feel a clown

If by mistake I'd got my Sunday trousers front to back

I wore my chain on me Darby-kel

The organ started playing and the bells began to ring

Me chain began to rattle so the choir began to sing
