No. 9 - Song - Pettifer and Chorus
| Pettifer: | Whenever you're my way, Quite close to Ratcliffe Highway, Just look at my large stock-in-trade, |
| Chorus: | Trade, trade. |
| Pettifer: | I've all things on sale, O! A winkle or a whale O! I'll forward at once, carriage paid. |
| Chorus: | Paid, paid. |
| Pettifer: | A lamb, or a lion, I'm ready to supply on Demand, or a nice little bow... |
| Chorus: | ...wow, wow. |
| Pettifer: | A leopard first-rate, or A fine alligator, A marmoset, an ostrich, a camel or a cow. |
| Chorus: | Or a cow, cow, cow. |
| Pettifer: | You'll find that mine are not At all expensive terms, For early birds I've got Some extra special worms, And then I've safe and snug A Polar bear or two, So poor old maids may get a hug Inside my zoo, zoo, zoo. |
| Chorus: | You'll find that his are not At all expensive terms, For early birds he's got Some extra special worms, And then he's safe and snug A Polar bear or two, So poor old maids may get a hug Inside his zoo, zoo, zoo. |
| Pettifer: | I've always been noted, When companies are floated, For finding a nice guinea-pig, |
| Chorus: | Pig, pig! |
| Pettifer: | My storks more or less'll Recall the Hotel Cecil, Their bills are so long and so big, |
| Chorus: | Big, big! |
| Pettifer: | Card-sharpers may meet, Ah! With such a cunning cheetah! And gamblers can play ducks and drakes, |
| Chorus: | Drakes, drakes! |
| Pettifer: | If drunkards should roam there, They'll feel quite at home there, And even strict abstainers May see a lot of snakes, |
| Chorus: | Lot of snakes, snakes, snakes! |
| Pettifer: | I've ravens black as night; There also may be seen Some cockatoos in white, Some parrots red and green, But all their splendour pales With my macaws in view; I call them "Pink 'uns" for their tails Are short and blue, blue, blue! |
| Chorus: | He's ravens black as night; There also may be seen Some cockatoos in white, Some parrots red and green, But all their splendour pales With his macaws in view; He calls them "Pink 'uns" for their tails Are short and blue, blue, blue! |
