Pull Devil, Pull Baker!!!
OR,
THE BAKER'S ACT.

*Sung with unbounded Applause throughout the Metropolis.*

YE Bakers of London, beware,
Who have long liv'd on adulteration;
Your Scales and your Weights now prepare,
And tremble at the New Alteration.
The D—l has ta'en it in head,
And swears, sure as he's a black sinner, |
If ye do not all bake better Bread,
He'll roast ye, and eat ye for dinner.

2.
Full weight too, he swears he will have,
As sure as the Devil's in London,
So Bakers mind how you behave,
Or you will all quickly be undone.
I'll tell you what I think it's thro',
You may call it if you please a frolic,
Your Potatoes have been so damn'd new,
They've given all the wind-cholic.

Rumpti iddity.

Ramoe Samee has bolted a stone,
As big as the egg of a Hen, sir;
But a Half-quartern Loaf you must own,
Is by far much bigger than ten, sir!
Our Ministers too have found out,
The Bakers their efforts can't baffle,
That stone-eating, without the least doubt,
Is apt to give people the gravel.

Rumpti iddity.

4.
They've resolved that the Bread shall be made
Of Wheat, Rye, Rice, Oats, or Barley;
That ev'ry bit shall be weigh'd,
And no Baker shall stand for to parley.
But if he refuses to weigh,
At any customer's direction,
Forty Shillings he quickly must pay,
Or Three Months in the House of Correction.

Rumpti iddity.

5.
Now ye Journeymen Bakers who live
On the plundering of poor people's dishes,
Be content with what your masters give,
Or things won't go quite to your wishes.
You'd fain have a finger I know,
In ev'ry man's pie but your own, sir,
For which to hell you will go,
So you'd much better let it alone, sir.

Rumpti iddity.

6.
Then may Masters and Journeyman who
Won't comply with these new Regulations,
Be doom'd to starve upon Gru-
el; and the Public Donations.
May the D—l make them a rich stew
Of dripping, horse beans, and Scotch pebbles,
And ask them to sup with a crew
Of his most devilish ill-looking rebels.

Rumpti iddity.
