THE DOCTOR AND THE ALDERMAN.
Over Head and Ears in the Hyp.
  I'll tell you a tale, it's as strange as 'tis true,
  How a famous physician and alderman too,
  Were suddenly seiz'd--'twas a dangerous case!
  And neither much car'd to look death in the face.
    Derry down.
. . . [17 more verses, followed by a chorus]
CHORUS
To relieve us from which, as our liquor we quaff,
I shall only prescribe you an innocent laugh.
La-la-la-la-la-la laugh.
I shall only prescribe you, &c.
