A song laden with euphamisms generally lost on the young, short-attention-span crowd.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I once took a job as a coachman
\nMy money was paid in advance
\nSo I traveled first down to Dover
\nAnd then I crossed over to France
\nI was met by a charming young lady
\nWho dressed me in breeches so tight
\nShe said, I have got a fine coachman
\nTo drive me by day and by night:<\/p>\n

\nShe was such a charming young lady
\nAll in the height of her bloom
\nAnd me being a dashing young coachman
\nI drove her ten times ’round the room
\n<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnd filled me with liquor so quick
\nShe told me to drink in a hurry
\nThen she asked for a look at my whip
\nShe held it, viewed it a moment
\nAnd then laid it down with a smile
\nSaid, I can see by the length and the look of your slash
\nYou can drive in the old-fashioned style:<\/p>\n
\nSo I climbed right in to the seat
\nThree swishes I gave with my cracker
\nAnd drove her right down the High Street
\nI handled my whip with good judgment
\nUntil I was sure of her ways
\nBut the very first tug that I gave on the brakes
\nI broke the main spring of her stays:<\/p>\n
\nAnd wanted to take a short rest
\nShe’d call for her servant maid, Sally
\nThe one I love second best.
\nShe said, Sally, we’ve got a fine coachman
\nHe drives in the old fashioned style
\nThe spring on my chassis’s being strengthened again
\nI’ll let him drive you for a while:<\/p>\n
