Hustle

Every ten year old needs a hustle 
The cattle yards the Friday shuffle 

The farmer need a sandwich for lunch
Or a horse they've got a hunch  

I will run to get your dinner
Or place the bet for the sinner

It makes no difference to me
I am just hustling for a tuppenny

In the back door of bookie shop
Two Shillings I did drop

Over to the copper fiddle
For the ham off the griddle

I hand Paddy his slip and meat
A sixpence on the hustlers beat
