I've 'ad a quarrel with 'Enery Slade, / 'Oo keeps our only village inn; / 'E said as 'is shoes was badly made, / An' I said as 'is 'alf-an'-'alf was thin. / 'No more o' _your_ boots I'll buy,' sez 'e, / 'An' no more o' _your_ beer,' sez I, 'for me!'
Nex' time as 'is shoes was out o' repair, / 'E took 'em to Lunnon, 'Enery did; / An' wot wi' the bill an' the railway fare, / Why, it cost 'im werry near 'alf a quid. / If 'e'd stayed at 'ome an' give _me_ the job, / 'E wouldn't 'a paid but a couple o' bob!
