And you’ll find from one end to the other,

And all classes of persons through life,

Can daily find fault with the other.

And fill every person with dizziness,

What an excellent thing it would be,

If people would mind their own business.

Walk out with her young daughter Sally,

She has got on a new bonnet and shawl,
