From Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania,

Virginia, Massachusetts, and both the Carolinas,

These men have come who have but just gone out.

There’s Hopkinson, and Middleton, and Harrison,

And William Ellery, George Taylor, and Josiah Bartlett;

Morton, Walton, Joe Hewes, and Willie Hooper,

And many more; and I am left alone—

No!—here come Roger Sherman, Gerry, and George Whytte.

(Milkman sings without.)

“Bully for you, Susie,
Bully for you now,
To go and milk the water pump,
’Stead of the cow.
Chalk is very cheap,
Milk is quite a heap,
Healthier when diluted than it came from the cow.”
