The Mikado - Gilbert & Sullivan
The billiard sharp whom any one catches
His doom’s extremely hard
He’s made to dwell
In a dungeon cell
On a spot that’s always barred
And there he plays extravagant matches
In fitless finger-stalls
On cloth untrue
With a twisted cue
And elliptical billiard balls
You can see here possible explanations of:
Billiard sharp
Barred
Finger stalls
Cloth untrue
