Could someone tell me what is the meaning of the verb "trollop" in this piece of poetry: "We haven’t a camelty tune of our own To help us trollop along, But every neck is a hairy trombone (Rtt-ta-ta-ta! is a hairy trombone!) " This extract is from Her Majesty's Servants in the First Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Thanks in advance for your help!
