First lines
Che-cha-ko arrived from London Town / Wearing a sort of superior frown; / Registered, "Bellingham-Bolingbroke-Browyne" / (Hyphenating himself in the middle). / He carried of "boxes" just twenty-four, / Voted the country "A beastly boah"; / Laughed at the "shops," which he roundly swore / "Weren't worth a Ta-ra-diddle!"
He purchased of farm lands some sections six, / Said: "With those common fawmahs I shan't mix!" / Then he started in with his La-de-dah tricks / And built him a "Countwy Seat." / Now, a "country seat" in this western land / Is top rail of a fence, or a pile of sand, / But Che-cha-ko's daily, diurnal demand / Was, "The best people I must meet."
