Ha’ my little Boney!
What dost think of Johnny Bull now?
Plunder old England: hay?
Make French Slaves of us all! Hay?
Ravish all our Wives & Daughters; hay
O Lord help that silly Head!
To think that Johnny Bull would
Ever suffer those Lanthere Jaws to
Become King of Old Englands Roast
Beef & Plumpudding!
