I were lying all peaceful in Lion House
And thinking that dinner were near,
When along came a lad with a stick in 'is 'and
And poked it right into me ear!
Now the lad's name were 'Albert Ramsbottom'
A noisy and nasty young squirt
'Is stick 'ad an 'orses 'ead 'andle
And the ferrule were sharp... and it 'urt.
So I did what you might 'ave imagined
And gave in to a moment of rage
I grabbed the young lad with 'is stick in 'is 'and
And pulled 'im right into me cage.
I can tell you 'is flesh were quite tasty
And I soon 'ad 'im tucked out of sight
Though 'is parents both said it were wrong what I did
But the Magistrates said... I were right.!!!
