That homely clerk took her out for a ride / Last Sunday in a buggy, and they rode / Around all through the parks; I wisht I'd knowed / About it, and the horse would kind of shied, / And then got scared and run and kicked, and I'd / Of been a piece ahead and saw him jump / And leave her hangin' on alone, the chump, / And she'd of been so 'fraid she'd nearly died.
Then I'd of give a spring and caught the bit, / And landed on the horse's back, where all / The people there could see me doin' it, / And when I got her saved the crowd would call / Three cheers for me, and then she'd come and fall / Against my buzzum, and he'd have a fit.
