Hello, on top! Hello!

Ease off, and have a blow!

We’ve a crushin’ in the paddock, and there’s more below!

Then you don’t dine any more on sodden flapjacks in the pan;

And you don’t back under cover when you see a bit of skirt;

For there’s something in the atmosphere that bulges out a man

When he’s drivin’ on the gutter, and there’s pay-gold in the dirt—

Hello, on top! Hello!

Jest rosin up your bow!

For we’ve got no time for sleepin’ when there’s corn to hoe!
