+====== Pace Egging Song ======
+**Chorus:**
+//Here's one, two, three jolly lads all in one mind
+We have come a pace egging and we hope you'll prove kind
+We hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
+For we'll come no more nigh you until the next year//
+And the first that comes in is Lord Nelson you'll see
+With a bunch of blue ribbons tied round by his knee
+And a star on his beast that like silver do shine
+And I hope he remembers it's pace egging time
+[//chorus//]
+And the next that comes in, it is Lord Collingwood
+He fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood
+And he's come from the sea old England to view
+And he's come a pace egging with all of his crew
+[//chorus//]
+The next that comes in is our Jolly Jack Tar
+He sailed with Lord Nelson all through the last war
+He's arrived from the sea, old England to view
+And he's come a pace egging with our jovial crew
+[//chorus//]
+The next that comes in is old miser Brownbags
+For fear of her money she wears her old rags
+She's gold and she's silver all laid up in store
+And she's come a pace egging in hopes to get more
+[//chorus//]
+And the last to come in is old Tosspot, you see
+He's a valiant old man and in every degree
+He's a valiant old man and he wears a pigtail
+And all his delight is a drinking mulled ale
+[//chorus//]
+Come ladies and gentlemen, sit by the fire
+Put your hands in your pockets and give us our desire
+Put your hands in your pockets and treat us all right
+If you give nought, we'll take nought, farewell and goodnight
+[//chorus//]
+If you can drink one glass, then we can drink two
+Here's a health to Victoria, the same unto you
+Mind what you're doing and see that all's right
+If you give naught, we take naught, farewell and good night
+[//chorus//]
