Classic Poem

Oh! the eggs and bacon;
And oh! the eggs and bacon;
And the gentleman and lady
A walking up the way!
And if you will be my sweetheart,
And if you will be my sweetheart,
And if you will be my darling,
I will be your own, to-day.

Oh! I found a jolly hedgehog;
Oh! I found a good fat hedgehog;
Oh! I found a good big hedgehog,
In the wood beyond the town:
And there came the lord and lady,
The handsome lord and lady,
And underneath the branches
I saw the two sit down.

They didn't know the Gipsy,
They didn't think the Gipsy,
They didn't hear the Gipsy
Was looking — or could hide.
If they knew I saw the kisses,
The pretty little kisses,
If they knew I heard the kisses,
Oh, the lady would ha' died!

Oh! sitting still's not springing,
And talking isn't singing,
So I tell you nothing, singing,
That's the way I make it square.
So I keep this thing a secret,
I keep it all a secret,
A very sacred secret,
As all of you can hear.
