A pair of great big leather boots he wears upon his feet
The other night a feller and a pretty little thing
Were standing at the garden gate canoodle-oodling.
Chorus: When up came John with his big boots on
In his uniform, Oh he looked a don
Just as he was kissing her and telling lots of lies
Up come John and took a tip and shut his eyes.
Up in the little top back room a candle was alight
A lady fair and forty was retiring for the night
Just as she was taking off her falderols and lace
A chap below stood laughing till he nearly cracked his face.
Chorus: When up came John with his big boots on
In his uniform, Oh he looked a don
He pushed his truncheon in his face and set the chap to rout
Back come John and saw her put the candle out.
A lot of little kids were playing 'banker' t'other day
Their language was enough to take a cabman's breath away
John put his nose around the corner one kid saw the cop
He grabbed the banker's halfpenny as he shouted, 'Here's a slop.'
Chorus: So up came John with his big boots on
In his uniform, brprprprprprprprp!
With eagle eye and grim determination on his face
Up come John and had a penny on the ace.
