On George's birthday / Was such a display! / He was dress'd in a new suit of clothes; / And look'd so genteel, / With his buttons of steel, / And felt quite like a man, I suppose.
Now at tea, with much care, / He partakes of his share, / Nor spills it, as careless boys do; / He is always so clean, / And so fit to be seen, / That his clothes, you would think, were just new.
