But fingers with a little chalk

Shall, moderato, keep the score!

No Broadwoods here, so full of tone,

But Harpsichords assist the strain:

No Lincoln’s pipes, we have our own

Bird-Organ, built by Tubal-Cain.

And welcome! St. Cecilians, now

Ye willy-nilly, ex-good fellows,

Who will strike up, no matter how,
