The Guvvcner has sent for you, You've got some toughish work 'tis true — A wirra sthru a wirra. How can you #et together here A party pow'rful ami sincere, To suit your book, you clever dear? — A wirra schrn a wirra. The House lias plenty now chums now Prepared to any god to bow, To sarve their counthry, anyhow — A win a sthru a wirra. A little butther plastered round-, Where gushing greenhorns do abound,. May help you much the coast to sound, A wirra sthru a wirra. Sthick hard and fast to Bobby Sthout, Of telkin' rot he'll take a bout, Tin Majors thin can't turn yez out, A wirra sthru a, wirra.
