[Robin] I once was as meek as a newborn lamb,
I'm now Sir Murgatroyd.
With greater precision
(Without the elision),
Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd.

[Adam] And I, who was once his valleydesham,
As steward I'm now employed.
The dickens may take him,
I'll never forsake him!
As steward I'm now employed.

[Both] How dreadful when an innocent heart
Becomes, perforce, a bad young Bart.,
And still more hard on old Adam,
His former faithful valleydesham!
His former faithful valleydesham!
His valleydesham!
His valleydesham!
desham!
