Capital Investment, Southern railway ware [Note 119.1]
Selling quite a bargain, Half-a-crown² a share [Note 119.2]
Chorus: Come, little boys and girls,
Full of fun and glee
If you'll try your fortune
Come and buy of me
Here's at least ten thousand, never handled yet [Note 119.3]
Such an opportunity, never more you'll get
Here's a traffic table so concise and plain
Written all in moonshine on a cloudy brain
Here's to good security, if you will enlist
But a little capital, hearken to the list
The first we've noble E-ls (Fame was never know)
The next we've noble L-ds (Titles scarce their own)
Then we've wealthy squires, spite of them who've hopped
Banker, folk and gentlemen' whose credit long has stopp'd
Money from the western to assist us out [Note 119.4]
And the bill is certain can any be of doubt. [Note 119.5]
