Honesty is out of the fashion,
The public can pay limpence
a pint for beer from the brewery men
Then he pour me pint on the counter,
Honesty is out of the fashion,
While a publican is serving me,
he say, how you like my shop
He pour my pint, I look and say,
Honesty is out of the fashion,
The grocer sells some ham to me,
he charged ten shillings a pound
Then he put his thumb on the scale
and pressed the damn thing down
Honesty is out of the fashion,
from the shopkeepers is a task
But I think I know the difference,
Honesty is out of the fashion,
Honesty is out of the fashion,
Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel,
There was only them and God,
But fly -wee Cain he found himself
A wife in the land of Nod
Honesty is out of the fashion,
St Denis had his head cut off,
and walked two miles without his hat
Honesty is out of the fashion,
Honesty is out of the fashion,
