Mrs. Coram:
Through our colonnade
A young and fallen maid
Oh, vexed and laden miss
We can help with this
Captain Coram:
With each of the children, the mother's enjoined
To furnish a token, a button or coin
And with it maternity true can be learned
Should one day the mother see fit to return
But none of the mothers has ever returned
Foundlings:
Castaways and foundlings, we
Waifs of Lamb's Conduit Field in Bloomsbury
Damn the locket you left me
Cap'n Coram is more merciful than thee
Castaways and foundlings, we
Waifs of Lamb's Conduit Field in Bloomsbury
Damn the locket you left me
Cap'n Coram is more merciful than thee
Feed the fires
Feed the fires
Feed the fires
With foundling tokens
Feed the fires
With foundling tokens
Mother:
Hush, my nursling star
Bastard that you are
Paper on the breast, and clout on the head
And I will come back for you once I am wed
I swear I'll come back for you some day
Foundlings:
Castaways and foundlings, we
Waifs of Lamb's Conduit Field in Bloomsbury
Damn the locket you left me
Cap'n Coram is more merciful than thee
Castaways and foundlings, we
Waifs of Lamb's Conduit Field in Bloomsbury
Damn the locket you left me
Cap'n Coram is more merciful than thee
Feed the fires
Feed the fires
Feed the fires
Stuff the stove, fill the graves
With foundling tokens
Feed the fires
Pave the streets, fill the Thames
With foundling tokens
Foundling tokens
Foundling tokens
