No, I tell you I can't and I shan't get away,

For De Boots has implor'd me to sing.

As to you—if you like it, of course you can stay;

You were always an obstinate thing.

If you feel it a pleasure to talk to the flow'rs

About'"babble and revel and wine,"

When you might have been snoring for two or three hours.

Why, it's not the least business of mine.
