There’s nought but talk on every han’;

On every night that passes, oh!

’Tis wonderful how Members can

Behave so much like Asses, oh!

Loud bray the Asses, oh!

Loud bray the Asses, oh!

While business wails amid debates;

And so the Session passes, oh!

All this delay, from day to day

Arrears of work amasses, oh!
