The London University

Whene'er with pitying eye I view
Each operative sot in town,
I smile to think how wondrous few
Get drunk who study at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

What precious fools "The People" grew,
Their alma mater not in town;
The "useful classes" hardly knew
Four was composed of two and two,
Until they learned it at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

But now they're taught by JOSEPH HU-
ME, by far the cleverest Scot in town,
Their ITEMS and their TOTTLES too;
Each may dissect his sister Sue,
From his instructions at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

Then L----E comes, like him how few
Can caper and can trot in town,
In PIROUETTE or PAS DE DEUX--
He beats the famed MONSIEUR GIROUX,
And teaches dancing at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

And GILCHRIST, see, that great Geentoo-
Professor, has a lot in town
Of Cockney boys who fag Hindoo,
And LARN JEM-NASTICS at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

SAM R--- corpse of vampire hue,
Comes from its grave to rot in town;
For Bays the dead bard's crowned with Yew,
And chants, the Pleasures of the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

FRANK JEFFREY, of the Scotch Review,--
Whom MOORE had nearly shot in town,--
Now, with his pamphlet stitched in blue
And yellow, d--ns the other two,
But lauds the ever-glorious U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

Great BIRBECK, king of chips and glue,
Who paper oft does blot in town,
From the Mechanics' Institu-
tion, comes to prate of wedge and screw,
Lever and axle at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

LORD WAITHAM, who long since withdrew
From Mansion House to cot in town;
Adorn'd with chair of ormolu,
All darkly grand, like Prince Lee Boo,
Lectures on FREE TRADE at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

Fat F----, with his coat of blue,
Who speeches makes so hot in town,
In rhetoric, spells his lectures through,
And sounds the V for W,
The VAY THEY SPEAKS it at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

Then H----E comes, who late at New-
gate Market, sweetest spot in town!
Instead of one clerk popp'd in two,
To make a place for his ne-phew,
Seeking another at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

There's Captain ROSS, a traveler true,
Has just presented, what in town-
's an article of great VIRTU
(The telescope he once peep'd through,
And 'spied an Esquimaux canoe
On Croker Mountains), to the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

Since MICHAEL gives no roast nor stew,
Where Whigs might eat and plot in town,
And swill his port, and mischief brew--
Poor CREEVY sips his water gru-
el as the beadle of the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town,

There's JERRY BENTHAM and his crew,
Names ne'er to be forgot in town,
In swarms like Banquo's long is-sue--
Turk, Papist, Infidel and Jew,
Come trooping on to join the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

To crown the whole with triple queue--
Another such there's not in town,
Twitching his restless nose askew,
Behold tremendous HARRY BROUGH-
AM! Law Professor at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.

GRAND CHORUS:

Huzza! huzza! for HARRY BROUGH-
AM! Law Professor at the U-
niversity we've Got in town--
niversity we've Got in town.
