    1) He looked like a man with a foot in the grave, And hold them hard like a spell, like a man who lived in Hell
    2) Dangerous Dan, Dog-Dirty
    3) As he watered the green stuff in his glass
    4) And scarcely the strength of a louse

    Page Two

    1) And flops down there like a fool, A half-dead thing in a stark, dead world, Four walls and a roof above
    2) 'Twas the crowning cry, That's banished with bacon and beans
    3) so cramful of cosy joy

    Page Three

    1) Then it stung like a frozen lash
    2) Then it burst like a pent-up flood, The music almost died away
    3) Dangerous Dan, Pinched his poke, Repay, repay
