Quite bsmboOzled and weak -jornted,
Peepy, with a heavy load on,
Sprung-that Is intoxicated,
Slung, how came Ou-so, IN liquor,
In his hat brick he carried,
And snake IN his boot squirming-
He was ever "round the corner"

Like an alderman of Gotham,
Staggering from the ancient ''tea ROOM
lie was 'tead' and mugged completely,
For with liquor he was "lOrdiy,"
And mad put it through n splendor;
somewhat stunned. and yet quite lively,
tie was ''nlops and brOOrns' and ''bOsky,''
He was bOOZed. and he was butiy,
And so hay and so mooney
That his dImmed aud yinlOus peppers
Could not a hole IN ladder
He was Lnudd!ett, he was mnZzey,
Lumpy, too. and Obiuscaied-
On the ran-tan he had figured,

And his feet were too large for him.
Therefore he, the Bacchus martyr,
Over his own toes went tripping,
For on n big taTe he rushed IT
TN furious, blazing batter
therefore he was quite tapshackled
Meaning fresh which, when translated,
Zap. IS what some people call it
Puzzled has the selt-same meaning
For he had been taking something
Very permanent and lasting,
And the 1uiks who saw HIM staggeTy
said he had been fariEg up some,
Burning quite = splendid KUN too
