Work rating: Low


I got the oil: too right.  A cove called Shane.   Yes; ole Bill Shane.  You`ve `eard of `im, of course. Big racin` `ead.  There`s no need to explain   The things he don`t know about a `orse. Good ole Bill Shane.  They say he`s made a pile   At puntin`.  Shrewd!  I wis I `ad `is brain. An` does `e know the game?  Well, I should smile.   They can`t put nothin` over ole Bill Shane. Yes; Shane, Bill Shane ...  Aw, listen, lad.  Wake up!   Why everybody`s `eard of ole Bill Shane. They say he made ten thousan` on the Cup   Last year, an` now he`s got the oil again. Wot?  Owner?  Trainer?  Nah!  Who `eeds their guff?   Bill`s a big racin` man -- a punter.  See? Top dog.  I alwiz sez wot`s good enough   For ole Bill Shane is good enough for me. Yes; he gave me the oil.  I got it straight --   Well, nearly straight.  Of course, I`ve never spoke To Bill `imself direck.  I got a mate   Wot knows a bloke wot knows another bloke Wot`s frien`s with Shane, an` so -- you un`erstand.   Wot?  me give you the tip?  Aw, take a walk! Yeh think I`d do a thing so under`and?   Bill Shane would kill me if I was to talk.   Well, listen ... Now, for gosh sake, keep it dark.   An` don`t let no one know it came from Shane. Keep it strick secret.  I would be a nark   To let you chuck yer money down the drain ... Wazzat you said?  He`s scratched?  `Ere!  Lemme look!   Scratched!  Ain`t that noos to knock a man clean out? I alwiz said this puntin` game was crook ...   Who?  Shane?  Aw, I dunno.  Some racin` tout.
