The Bolshevik 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 25 Oct 2004

I am a bold bad Bolshevik,
to "bolsh" is my delight.
I'm busy "bolshing" all the day,
and then I "bolsh" all night.
I'm awf'lly good at murdering,
and as I'm unemployed,
I've made a little list of those
who've got to be destroyed.

I'm going to murder Simpson,
He's got a crimson nose.
He says it is the east wind
that has made it like a rose.
No doubt it is the east wind,
but I'll strafe him with a bomb;
the stingy brute won't tell me where
he gets the east wind from!

I'm going to kill our barber.
I'd not much hair, he said.
To make it grow he rubbed
a lot of goose grease on my head.
Next day I'd grown some feathers,
and I cackled and I clucked.
I never have my hair cut now,
I have my feathers plucked!

I'm going to kill our servant,
for in the bathroom door
she bored a little hole,
and all the fam'ly said: "What for?"
She said: "'T'would let the steam out,"
and they laughed, upon my life!
But I saw thro' the notion,
and she went and told the wife!
