“ Here's the royal pavilion—hats off, hats off;
'Tis the royal pavilion—hats off;
Where the Prince, and the Queen, and the children are seen,
The pride of Old England—hats off, hats off;
Long, long may they live—hats off. ”

“ This World's a Large Fair.
This world's a large fair, hurrah, hurrah,
It's no more than a fair, hurrah,
And the people around, keeping stalls will be found,
Or else they are showmen, hurrah, hurrah,
Or else they are showmen, hurrah. ”

“ To gammon the other fair folks.
There's booths, too, for gambling; come play—come play;
Yes, out and out gambling, come play;
Where shares, scrip and dice, clean you out in a trice;
They've just picked up "Johnny," come play—come play;
He'll know better in future than play.
See, the gamblers are fighting; go in!—go in!
They've kicked up a "shindy," go in!
And during the brawl they'll break many a stall,
Besides picking pockets, go in!—go in!
Now play all you know; go in!
Just notice those stalls; oh dear—oh dear ”
