¶Lyrics / Text

One industrious Insect, and the sweetness of th'other, Is the Christian Name of our well-belov'd Brother; His Surname the Room where the Fire's in the middle, And some say he plays very well on the Fiddle; The Sign he hangs out is half Flesh, and half Fish, And he sells as true Wine as good Fellows can wish.
