  1. ANTE-ELECTIONS Now, a cove the name of Blabb, a politician,   He`s a haughty sort o` high pan-jan-dee-ram; An` he holds a very dignified position   As the member for the districk where I am. There is times he seems to faintly reckernise me --   Jist a flutter of his flipper when we meet; Yet, other times, his actions fair surprise me, When with a very icy eye he eyes me,   Jist as if he never knoo me in the street. But who am I to seek his hand to grab? So I simply sez, "Good mornin`, Mr Blabb."   An` passes on. "An` I hopes you`re doin` nicely, Mr Blabb."     2. ELECTIONS Now, a cove the name of Blabb, a politician,   Is a pal o` mine, an` most perlite, at that. He`s a candidate again for th eposition   As a member for the districk where I`m at. He will grab me hand an` pump it when I meet him,   An` he pats me on the back an` calls me Joe -- Seems sort of anxious-like for me to grete him An` as a fond an` faithful friend to treat him.   He`s the nicest sort o` neighbour you could know, But who am I to listen to his gab? So I simply sez, "I`ll think it over, Blabb,"   An` passes on. "I`ll see wot I can do about it, Blabb."     3. POST-ELECTIONS Now, a coot the name of Blabb, a politician,   He`s a Public Figger, an` a Man of note; For he recently rewon the high position   As the member of the districk where I vote. An`, altho` we come to be close cobbers lately,   Monday last he hardly knoo me when I spoke; An` he didn`t sort o` seem to want to, greatly; But he rose his hand an` nodded most sedately,   He`s an awful, absent-minded sort o` bloke. But who am I, whose ways is drear an` drab? So I simply sez, "Good evenin`, Mr Blabb,"   An` passes on. "An` I hopes you ain`t forgot me, Mr Blabb.
