The Fine Old English Gentleman

[the_gabih]

I'll sing you a new ballad, and I'll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On ev'ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev'ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;
Soon may they come again!

The good old laws were garnished well with gibbets,

I know it isn't a song, but it looks like a good one :U

I think it was meant to be- it certainly said 'to be said or sung at every Tory party dinner' or something in the notes in my book.

Damn, I love Dickens.

Also, government for the LOSE.

[the_gabih]

Same here.

And IKR? :S

[the_gabih]

Oh, yes.

[versipellis]

IKR? Gotta love Dickens.
