IV 
The minor bard who got a hard was often forced to 
be 
Familiar friends with odds and ends from Street to 
A.B.C. 
But now at once the merest dunce may pluck the 
purest pearl. 
By just — his pennies in the slot of the Automatic 
Girl. 
 
V 
Ye clerks, who get a sudden rise, be chary of your 
cash ! 
Society’s and Beauty’s eyes say “ Cut a deadly 
dash ! ” 
O no !  Avoid Miss Marie Lloyd, the dunce’s giddy 
whirl, 
But put your pennies in the slot of the Automatic 
Girl ! 
 
VI 
Ye cabmen wights so late o’nights that get upon 
the stand, 
O let alone the reins you own !  Refrain the shame-
ful hand ! 
This fare you get you’ll not regret, she will not 
make you curl ! 
So put your pennies in the slot of the Automatic-
Girl. 
 
VII 
The young and old, the rich and poor, with us are 
well content. 
[We take the stuff when there’s enough and traffic-
in cement.] 
The son of dook, the son of cook, the son of belted 
earl 
All put their pennies in the slot of the Automatic 
Girl.
