¶Lyrics / Text

Pox on you for a Fop, your Stomach too queasy. Cannot I Belch and Fart, you Coxcomb, to ease me? What if I let fly in your Face, and shall please ye? Fogh, fogh, how sour he smells, now he's at it again; Out ye Beast, I never met so nasty a Man. I'm not able to bear it. What the Devil d'ye mean? No less than a Caesar decree'd with great reason, No restraint should be laid on the Bum or the Weason, For Belching and Farting were always in season.
