There was Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy,
And also Little Boy Billee

They stole a tin of captain's biscuits,
And one large bottle of whiskey.

But when they reached the broad Atlantic,
They had nothing left but one split pea.

Said Gorging Jack to Guzzling Jimmy,
"We've naught to eat — let's eat Billee."

"O Little Boy Billee, we're going to kill and eat yur.
"So undo the top button of your little chemie¹."

"O may I say my catechism,
"That my dear mother taught to me?"

But when he reached the Eleventh Commandment,
He cried "Yo Ho for land I see!"

"I see Jerusalem and Madagascar,
"And North and South Amerikee"

"I see the British fleet at anchor,
"And our Lord Nelson, K.C.B²."

They hung Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy,
But they made an admiral of Little Boy Billee.

¹ chemise [ʃə'miːz]
noun
2 a loose shirtlike undergarment.  Also called: shift
[ETYMOLOGY: 14th Century: from Old French: shirt, from Late Latin camisa, perhaps of Celtic origin]

² KCB
abbrev. for  Knight Commander of the Bath (a Brit. title)

Originally created by Henry IV in 1399 as the senior order of knighthood, and revived by George I in 1725 with one division (military) and class, as the most important order of chivalry conferred on commoners. Enlarged 1815 to include military and civil divisions with three classes (GCB only in civil). Further enlarged 1847 to allow all classes in civil division.  -- Regiments.org
