“I've been very poorly but now I feel prime,I've been out today for the very first time.I felt like a lad as I walked down the road,Then I met Old Jones and he said, "Well I'm blowed!My word you do look queer!My word you do look queer!Oh, dear! You look dreadful: you've had a near shave,You look like a man with one foot in the grave."I said, "Bosh! l'm better; it's true I've been ill."He said, "I'm delighted you're better, but still,I wish you'd a thousand for me in your will.My word, you do look queer!"”Stanley Holloway My Word! You Do Look Queer!

“It occurred on the evening before Waterloo,And troops were lined up on parade,The Sergeant inspecting 'em he was a terror,Of whom every man was afraid”Stanley Holloway Sam, Sam, Pick Oop Tha' Musket
