You lads of this nation, in every station,

I pray give attention, and listen to me,

I’m little Jack Russell, a man of great bustle,

Who served Queen Victoria by land and by sea;

They call me a Proosian, an Austrian, a Roosian,

And off to Vienna they sent me afar;

They’d not me believe then, they vowed I’d deceived them,

And called me Friend of the great Russian Czar.

Chorus.
