The following advertisement of a boot and shoe firm in Sydney appeared on the morning after Lord Belmore’s arrival there ; The Governor stood on the Circular Quay, Tiddle-e-oodle-um ! And all by his side the fair Lady 8., With Lady Therese and her sisters three}; The nusses —Ann Dickson and Lizzie Sealey— Mr Toulmin, the private sec.: —Mrs T., And Mr and Mrs Captain B.— [The Captain’s the Governor’s Aide-de-C. ] With Kennedy, Marcus, and little Georgie, Tiddle-e-oodle-um ! They all of them went up the street, Tiddle-e-oodle-um! To see if the Governor there could meet Any Boots that were fit for a Governor’s feet, And also a Pair that were extra neat For his Lady,—in fact the whole of his SUITE Had worn out their stock, and were nearly beat And ashamed to be seen by the Sydney ELITE, Tiddle-e-oodle-um. At last the procession arrived at a Shop, Tiddle-e-oodle-um ! The Governor told the procession to stop, While he and his lady had time to pop On each a New Pair —tho they were but slop, The both of them said that they looked tip-top. I don’t know another word ending in “op,” L’m done for a rhyme, so my pen will drop, But the place was Myers and Solomon’s shop, Tiddle-e-codle-um !
