On the Roast Beef of Old England,
Oh, the Old English Roast-Beef.
O, the gruel’s delicious, the taters divine—
And our very small beer is uncommonly fine;
But with us we think you would not like to dine,
Without the Roast-Beef of Old England,
Oh, the Old English Roast-Beef!
Our soup’s very good, we really must own.
But of what it is made arn’t very well-known;
So, without any soup we would much rather dine
