A
PARODY
UPON
SWIFT's
NURSES'
SONG
.
Oh
my
Charley
,
my
Charley
,
The
man
of
the
people
was
he
,
Such
a
sweet
pet
as
Charley
No
one
did
ever
see
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
up
,
uppy
,
Long
he's
gone
down
,
down
,
downy
,
Oft
he's
gone
backwards
and
forwards
,
And
now
he's
quite
run
agrouney
.
"
Has
he
lost
all
his
credit
,
And
has
he
lost
all
his
money
?
His
friends
will
all
make
him
a
purse
,
For
he's
still
their
own
dear
honey
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
&c.
"
Here
are
his
own
two
Dukies
,
Each
with
his
thousand
in
handey
;
Here
are
three
Earls
and
a
Marquis
,
And
here
is
his
dear
Napper
Tandy
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
&c.
"
Earl
S
—
pe
,
as
straight
as
a
steeple
,
On
the
table
puts
down
his
five
poundy
,
Then
drinks
to
the
Man
of
the
People
,
And
the
glass
it
goes
merrily
roundy
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
&c.
"
Next
comes
his
own
dear
Sh
—
ry
,
No
friend
like
to
Sh
—
ry
on
earth
,
A
thousand
good
pounds
he
subscribes
,
Which
is
more
than
poor
Sh
—
ry
is
worth
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
&c.
"
Then
be
not
discourag'd
,
dear
Charley
,
Your
friends
are
all
met
in
convention
,
Contented
to
lose
their
own
credit
,
By
fixing
on
you
a
good
pension
.
"
Once
he
went
up
,
up
,
uppy
,
Long
he's
gone
down
,
down
,
downy
,
Oft
he's
gone
backwards
and
forwards
,
And
now
he's
quite
run
agrouney
.
