Romance of a Bad Young Man. Copyright, 1884, by White, Smith & Co. Words by Chas. F. Pidgin. Music by Chas. D. Blake. 
First we see a loving grouplet sitting 'round the teething child, Then a case of wicked crouplet drives the weeping parents wild; Saved, he rolls his little hooplet, and his hair is dressed in Curls, Then he sits upon the stooplet teasing all the little girls. Grouplet, crouplet, hooplet, stooplet, teasing all the little girls; Grouplet, crouplet, hooplet, stooplet, teasing all the little girls. 
Chorus. Gronplet, crouplet, hooplet, stooplet, teasing all the little girls; Grouplet, crouplet, hooplet, stooplet, teasing all the little girls. 
Then he takes his little booklet and he dips in learning's pool, When not Ashing in the brooklet, which he much prefers to school; There he baits his little hooklet, to the fish he throws a fly, Then the boys get up a cooklet and to broil their victims try. Booklet, brooklet, booklet, cooklet, and to broil their victims try; Booklet, brooklet, booklet, cooklet, and to broil their victims try. 
Chorus. Booklet, brooklet, booklet, cooklet, and to broil their victim- try; Booklet, brooklet, booklet, cooklet, And to broil their victims try. 
School he quits and seeks a shoplet where he toils for three a week, But he likes a hotse and hoplet, and his pocketbook will leak; Thinks he'll jump to reach the toplet and he robs the village bank, He Is caught, but gives the droplet to the law and order crank. Shoplet, hoplet, toplet, droplet, to the law and order crank; bhopiet, hoplet, toylet, droplet, to the law And order crunk. 
Chorus. Shoplet, hoplet, toplet, droplet, to the law and order crank; Shoplet, hoplet, toplet, droplet, to the law And order crank. 
Now we see another gronplet gathered in a prison cell, And another case of crouplet, pardon only cureth well; 'Round his neck they put a looplet, in the air his body whirls, And no more he'll block the stooplet courting all the pretty girls. Grouplet, crouplet, hooplet, stooplet, see the plot, in nature's plan; Booklet, brooklet, hooplet, crouplet, how his mind to slaughter ran. 
Chorus. Shoplet, hoplet, toplet, droplet, hear it all and run who can; Grouplet, crouplet, looplet, stooplet, romance of a bad young man.
