Goodness ! Twelve o'clock ! Time for the bus !
What a lot of people ! What a lot of people ! Aren't we squashed ! Bloody funny ! That chap ! What a face ! And what a neck !
Two-foot long ! At least ! And the cord ! The cord ! I hadn't seen it ! The cord ! That's the bloody funniest ! Oh ! The cord !
Round his hat ! A cord ! Bloody funny ! Too bloody funny !
Here we go, now he's yammering ! The chap with
the cord ! At the chap next to him ! What's he saying ! The other chap ! Claims he trod on his toes ! They're going to come
to blows ! Definitely ! No, though ! Yes they are, though ! Go wonn ! Go wonn ! Bit him in the eye ! Charge ! Hit 'im !
Well I never ! No, though ! He's climbing down ! The chap !
With the long neck ! With the cord ! It's a vacant seat he's charging ! Yes ! The chap !

Well ! 't's true ! No! I'm right ! It's really him !
Over there ! In the Cour de Rome ! In front of the gare Saint-Lazare !
Mooching up and down ! With another chap ! And what's
the other chap telling him ! That he ought to get an extra button !
Yes! A button on his coat ! On his coat !
