Jim 'Icks was a Tory, ten years back; / An' 'e cheered at each Tory win. / An' 'e'd stand an' argue as white was black, / For to 'elp them Tories in. / But times (an' parties) is changed since then, / An' 'e's wishful to 'elp 'em out agen.
'Rat! ' sez you? Maybe that's true. / Nor 'e ain't the only one / As 'eard wot them Tories _said_ they'd do, / An' as seed wot them Tories _done_; / An' 'e don't feel noways bound, don't Jim, / To blokes as 'as broke their word with 'im.
