He asked me, penniless,

    For the loan of a dime,

I replied I didn't have one,

    But could afford a smile.

    And he introduced Jack.



They asked if I drank,

    "Crikeys!" I said,

"When they don't mind,"

            "Or as long as it's wet."

    As they spun me a line,

Of a bloke who they said,

    Was wealthy divine?



It was later indicated,

    That it was me and my smile,

For they said it was known,

    The day's of the dial.
