I.

Major Domo am I
Of this grand family,
My word through the castle prevails;
I'm appointed the head,
That must keep up the dread
And the pomp of my son-in-law's tails.
I strut as fine as any macaw,
I'll change for down my bed of straw,
On perquisites I lay my paw,
I pour wine slily down my maw,
I stuff good victuals in my craw.
'Tis a very fine thing to be father-in-law
To a very magnificent three-tailed bashaw!

II.

The slaves, black and white,
Of each sex own my might;
I command full three hundred and ten.
The females I'll kiss,
But it wont be amiss
To fright them with thumping the men.
I strut as fine, &c.

III.

At the head of affairs,
Turn me out then who dares.
Let them prove the head pilfers and steals;
No three-tailed bashaw
Kicks his father-in-law,
And makes his head take to his heels.
I strut as fine, &c.
