I bowled three sanctified souls / With three consecutive balls! / What do I care if Blondin trod / Over Niagara Falls? / What do I care for the loon in the Pit / Or the gilded earl in the Stalls? / I bowled three curates once / With three consecutive balls!
I caused three Protestant 'ducks' / With three consecutive balls! / Poets may rave of lily girls / Dancing in marble halls! / What do I care for a bevy of yachts, / Or a dozen or so of yawls? / I bowled three curates once / With three consecutive balls!
