The limber young lass in a white Tam o' Shanter,

The pouting young puss in a sailor-boy hat!

O,

And Streatley and Goring are worthy of rhyme:

The sunshine is hot and the breezes are still,

The River runs swift under Basildon Hill!

To lounge in a skiff is delightful to me,

I'm feeling as lazy as lazy can be;

I don't care to sail and I don't care to row—

Since I'm lucky enough to be taken in tow!
