| Dear boss, I keep on hearing
|
| That the police have caught me
|
| But they won’t fix me just yet
|
| I have laughed
|
| When they looked so clever
|
| And talk about being
|
| On the right track
|
| That joke about leather apron
|
| Gave me real fits
|
| I am down on whores
|
| And I shan’t quit ripping them
|
| Till I do get buckled
|
| Grand work the last job was
|
| I have the lady no time to squeal
|
| And I want to start again
|
| You will soon learn of me
|
| With my funny little games
|
| I saved some of the proper red stuff
|
| In a ginger beer bottle over the last job
|
| To write with but it went thick
|
| Like glue
|
| And I can’t use it
|
| Red ink is fit enough I hope
|
| Ha ha
|
| The next job I do
|
| I shall clip the ladies ears off
|
| And send them to police officers
|
| Just for jolly
|
| Wouldn’t you?
|
| Keep this letter back
|
| Till I do a bit more work
|
| Then give it out straight
|
| My knives so nice and sharp
|
| I want to get back to work right away
|
| If I get a chance
|
| Good luck!
|
| Yours truly
|

| Don’t mind me given the trade name |
