Rigs Of The Time |
Here’s to the baker I must bring him in |
Charges tuppence a loaf and he’ll think it no sin |
When he do bring it in it’s no bigger than your fist |
And the top of the loaf is popped off with the yeast |
And honesty’s all out of fashion |
These are the rigs of the times, times me boys |
These are the rigs of the times |
Here’s to the butcher I must bring him in |
He charges fourpence a pound and he’ll think it no sin |
Slaps his hand on the scale-weight to make it go down |
He swears it’s good weight when it wants half a pound |
And honesty’s all out of fashion |
These are the rigs of the times, times me boys |
These are the rigs of the times |
Here’s to the tailor who skimps on our clothes |
And the shoemaker who pinches our toes |
So our bellies go empty our backsides go bare |
It’s no wonder we’ve reason to curse and to swear |
That honesty’s all out of fashion |
These are the rigs of the times, times me boys |
These are the rigs of the times |
Now the very best thing that the people could find |
Is to huff them all up in a high gale of wind |
And the wind it will blow and the cloud it will burst |
And the biggest old rascal come tumbling down first |
Honesty’s all out of fashion |
These are the rigs of the times, times me boys |
These are the rigs of the times |
