Love unrequited, robs me of me rest Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers Love, nightmare like, lies heavy on me chest And weaves itself into my midnight slumbersWhen you're lying awake with a dismal headache And repose is taboo'd by anxiety I conceive you may use any language You choose to indulge in, without improprietyFor your brain is on fire, the bed-clothes conspire Of usual slumber to plunder you First your counter pane goes and uncovers your toes And your sheet slips demurely from under youThen the blanketing tickles, you feel like mixed Pickles, so terribly sharp is the pricking And you're hot and you're cross and you tumble and Toss 'til there's nothing 'twixt you and the tickingThen the bed clothes all creep to the ground in a heap And you pick 'em all up in a tangle Next your pillow resigns and politely declines To remain at its usual angleWell, you get some repose in the form of a dose With hot eye balls and head ever aching But your slumbering teems with such horrible dreams That you'd very much better be wakingFor you dream you are crossing the Channel And tossing about in a steamer from Harwich Which is something between a large bathing machine And a very small second class carriageAnd you're giving a treat penny ice and cold meat To a party of friends and relations They're a ravenous horde and they all come on board At Sloane Square and South Kensington StationsAnd bound on that journey you find your attorney Who started this morning from Devon He's a bit undersiz'd and you don't feel surprised When he tells you he's only elevenWell you're driving like mad with this singular lad By the bye the ship's now a four wheeler And you're playing round games, and he calls you bad names When you tell him that, ties pay the dealerBut this you can't stand so you throw up your hand And you find you're as cold as an icicle In your shirt and your socks the black silk with gold clocks Crossing Sal'sbury Plain on a bicycleAnd he and the crew are on bicycles too Which they've somehow or other invested in And he's telling the tars all the particulars Of a company he's interested inIt's a scheme of devices, to get at low prices All good from cough mixtures to cables Which tickled the sailors, by treating retailers as Though they were all vegetablesYou get a good spades man to plant a small tradesman First take off his boots with a boot tree And his legs will take root, and his fingers will shoot And they'll blossom and bud like a fruit treeFrom the green grocer tree you get grapes And green pea, cauliflower, pine apple and cranberries While the pastry cook plant cherry brandy will grant Apple puffs and three corners and banburysThe shares are a penny and ever so many Are taken by Rothschild and Baring And just as a few are allotted to you You awake and with a shudder despairingYou're a regular wreck, with a crick in your neck And no wonder you snore, for your head's on the floor And you've needles and pins from your soles to your shins And your flesh is acreep, for your left leg's asleepAnd you've cramp in your toes and a fly on your nose And some fluff in your lung and a feverish tongue And a thirst that's intense And a general sense that you haven't been sleeping in cloverBut the darkness has pass'd, and it's daylight at last And the night has been long, ditto, ditto my song And thank goodness they're both of them over
