It was n't kid stakes. I 'ad no crook lurk / To act deceivin', or to treat 'er mean. / I'm old enough to know them games don't work - / Not with Doreen. / Besides, deceit ain't in me bag uv tricks. / I got a few; but there is some that sticks.
Sticks in me gizzard. Some blokes sees no wrong / In workin' points, an' thinks it bonzer sport / To trifle with a wife's belief, so long / As they ain't cort. / But, when yeh play the game on dead straight lines, / It 'urts to be accused uv base designs.
