Ambitious of honors, position and fame,

Determined to win a notorious name,

His wish, you will see, in every oration,

Is deathless desire to govern the nation!

To help on his cause, he solicits the aid

Of all colors and sexes and sorts ever made;

Generous indeed—he’s the workingman’s friend!

To hear him—he has only a dollar to spend!

Glorious republic! If the prophecy ’s true,

When Train is elected—we’ll have nothing to do
