To curl your moustaches, and tell us

Just how the thing oughter be done;

But when twenty wake up ninety thousand,

There's nothin' can follow but rout;

We didn't give in till we had to;

And what are yer coughin' about?

The crowd that was with them ere rebels

Had ten to our every man;

But a fireman's a fireman, me covey,

And he'll put out a fire if he can:
