Lyrics:
Let me introduce a fellah, lardy dah, lardy dah!
A fellah who's a swell, ah, lardy dah!
Though limited his screw, yet
The weeks he's struggled thro'it,
For he knows the way to do it, lardy dah! lardy dah!
For he knows the way to do the lardy dah!
chorus:
He wears a penny flower in his coat, lardy dah!
And a penny paper collar round his his throat, lardy dah!
In his hand a penny stick,
In his tooth a penny pick,
And a penny in his pocket lardy dah! lardy dah!
And a penny in his pocket lardy dah!
He is something in an office, lardy dah! lardy dah!
And he's quite the city toff is lardy dah!
He cuts the swell so fine, oh!
He quite forgets to dine, oh!
For he spends his cash on Kino, lardy dah! lardy dah!
For he blues his screw on Kino, lardy dah!
When he's been out over night, ah, lardy dah!
His luncheon's very slight, ah, lardy dah!
His Paris diamonds glitter,
And the little barmaids titter,
At his sausage and his bitter, lardy dah! lardy dah!
At his sausage and his bitter, lardy dah!
His shirt is very tricky, lardy dah! lardy dah!
It's a pair of cuffs and dickey, lardy dah!
His boots are patent leather,
But they never stand wet weather,
For they're paper glued together, lardy dah! lardy dah!
For they're paper glued together, lardy dah!
His chain is Abysinnian, lardy dah! lardy dah!
His watch is half a guinea 'un, lardy dah!
And if hair oil were abolished,
This swell would be demolished,
For his hat would not be polished, lardy dah! lardy dah!
For his hat would not be polished, lardy dah!
