Until at last there was none so knowing,
No such sneaksman[44] or buzgloak[45] going.
_Fake away._
Fogles[46] and fawnies[47] soon went their way,
_Fake away_,
To the spout[48] with the sneezers[49] in grand array.
No dummy hunter[50] had forks[51] so fly;
_Nix my doll pals, fake away_.

No dummy hunter had forks so fly,
No knuckler[52] so deftly could fake a cly,[53]
_Fake away._
No slour'd hoxter[54] my snipes[55] could stay,
_Fake away._
None knap a reader[56] like me in the lay.
Soon then I mounted in swell-street high.
_Nix my doll pals, fake away._

Soon then I mounted in swell-street high,
And sported my flashiest toggery[57],
_Fake away._
Firmly resolved I would make my hay,
_Fake away,_
While Mercury's star shed a single ray;
And ne'er was there seen such a dashing prig,[58]
_Nix my doll pals, fake away._

And ne'er was there seen such a dashing prig,
With my strummel faked in the newest twig.[59]
_Fake away._
With my fawnied famms,[60] and my onions gay,[61]
_Fake away;_
My thimble of ridge[62], and my driz kemesa[63];
All my togs were so niblike[64] and splash,
_Nix my doll pals, fake away._

All my togs were so niblike and splash,
Readily the queer screens I then could smash;[65]
_Fake away._
But my nuttiest blowen,[66] one fine day,
_Fake away,_
To the beaks[67] did her fancy man betray,
And thus was I bowled out at last[68]
_Nix my doll pals, fake away._

And thus was I bowled out at last,
And into the jug for a lag was cast;[69]
_Fake away._
But I slipped my darbies[70] one morn in May,
_Fake away,_
And gave to the dubsman[71] a holiday.
And here I am, pals, merry and free,
A regular rollicking romany.[72]
_Nix my doll pals, fake away._
