THE JACK DAWS. (As Sung by Mr Palmer and Mr Dowton of Drury Lane Theatre) 1. As an Old Jack Daw and a Young Jack Daw Vere a valking out together, As you very vell know vhat Birds vill do That are of the same feather; Says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, I von't valk another stride, For I sees a cow in yonder mead-ow, So let us get up and ride. 2. As the Old Jack Daw and the Young Jack Daw Vere a riding up a top of the cow, Says the Young Jack Daw to the Old Jack Daw, I can ride as vell as thou; Says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, Vhy you can't ride half so vell; Then, says the Young Jack Daw to the Old Jack Daw, If I can't, vhy then I vill cut a great swell. 3. As the Old Jack Daw and the Young Jack Daw Vere going on vith their dispute, Says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, I vishes as how you'd be mute; Says the Young Jack Daw to the Old Jack Daw, I von't, for I'll kick up a row; Vhy then, says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, I'll kick you off of the cow. 4. As the Old Jack Daw and the Young Jack Daw Felt their passions begin for to rise, Says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw I'll peck out both your eyes ; Says the Young Jack Daw to the Old Jack Daw, Fy on you, you vicked Old Bird ; Vith that, the Old Jack Daw kick' d the Young Jack Daw, And tumbled him into a Turd. 5. Vhen the Old Jack Daw saw the Young Jack Daw, He vas sorry for vhat he had done; Says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, Oh! indeed, it was only in fun; Says the Young Jack Daw to the Old Jack Daw, I'll go home and I'll tell my mammy; Vhy then, says the Old Jack Daw to the Young Jack Daw, If I care for the Old Witch damme. MORAL. Attend, all good people, both old and young. To vhat I vould say to you now, And vhenever you goes for to valk out together, Don't get up a top of a cow ; And, like the poor dicky birds, quarrel and fight, Lest you gets a bloody nose ; You may be sent home in the wery same plight, With a nastiness over your clothes.
