Comeuppance is a useful word
when confronted by a beggar nerd
Give him no more than tuppence
a fitting and proper comeuppance
There was an old stripper called Jacky,
who's act was deemed rather tacky.
But she got her comeuppance
when, out of her tuppence,
fell six pipes, fifty fags and some baccy.
There was a crook named Jum Tuppence
Who stole from people of meager substance.
He tried it on an undercover cop
And was caught right on the spot.
Now Jum is due to get his comeuppance.
Bluebird, it's cold outside today
So be it, you just stay
In here with me, I'll keep you warm
And wrap you up inside my form
Rest your wings within my love
While snowflakes falling from above
Just serve to make the scene surreal
To be with you is my ideal
Smells like power
But tastes like chicken
Administrative duties
Make my pulse quicken
Let’s hear it for the Boss!
The greedy old troll…
Skeletal hands clutching
You will learn your role!
A street urchin’s tuppence
You earn for your toils…
Like shining Boss’s shoes
And lancing his boils
Your life is at an end
You know it’s just too late
Upon your pauper’s grave
The Boss’s kids will skate
Sweet young Prudence
saved up thruppence
for a liquorice stick
which cost but tuppence
and gave it a lick
plus a penn'orth of sherbet
for Herbert
the love of her life
hoping some day
she'd be his wife
but he drifted way
then when at last
she knew marriage prospects had passed
our dear Pru' wed Ted instead
amid gaiety and laughter
and as two birds on a telephone wire
they lived happily ever after
