<h2> Bill 'Awkins </h2>
<p>“'As anybody seen Bill 'Awkins?”<br/>
“Now 'ow in the devil would I know?”<br/>
“'E's taken my girl out walkin',<br/>
An' I've got to tell 'im so—<br/>
Gawd—bless—'im!<br/>
I've got to tell 'im so.”<br/>
<br/>
“D'yer know what 'e's like, Bill 'Awkins?”<br/>
“Now what in the devil would I care?”<br/>
“'E's the livin', breathin' image of an organ-grinder's monkey,<br/>
With a pound of grease in 'is 'air—<br/>
Gawd—bless—'im!<br/>
An' a pound o' grease in 'is 'air.”<br/>
<br/>
“An' s'pose you met Bill 'Awkins,<br/>
Now what in the devil 'ud ye do?”<br/>
“I'd open 'is cheek to 'is chin-strap buckle,<br/>
An' bung up 'is both eyes, too—<br/>
Gawd—bless—'im!<br/>
An' bung up 'is both eyes, too!”<br/>
<br/>
“Look 'ere, where 'e comes, Bill 'Awkins!<br/>
Now what in the devil will you say?”<br/>
“It isn't fit an' proper to be fightin' on a Sunday,<br/>
So I'll pass 'im the time o' day—<br/>
Gawd—bless—'im!<br/>
I'll pass 'im the time o' day!”<br/></p>
