Bill 'Awkins
>> Rudyard Kipling <<
As anybody seen Bill 'Awkins?'
'Now 'ow in the devil would I know?'
'E's taken my girl out walkin',
An' I've got to tell 'im so --
Gawd -- bless -- 'im!
I've got to tell 'im so.'
'D'yer know what 'e's like, Bill 'Awkins?'
'Now what in the devil would I care?'
'E's the livin', breathin' image of an organ-grinder's monkey,
With a pound of grease in 'is 'air --
Gawd -- bless -- 'im!
An' a pound o' grease in 'is 'air.'
'An' s'pose you met Bill 'Awkins,
Now what in the devil 'ud ye do?'
'I'd open 'is cheek to 'is chin-strap buckle,
An' bung up 'is both eyes, too --
Gawd -- bless -- 'im!
An' bung up 'is both eyes, too!'
'Look 'ere, where 'e comes, Bill 'Awkins!
Now what in the devil will you say?'
'It isn't fit an' proper to be fightin' on a Sunday,
So I'll pass 'im the time o' day --
Gawd -- bless -- 'im!
I'll pass 'im the time o' day!'
