In the Roast-Beef of Old England,
Oh, the Old English Roast-Beef!
From George Cruikshank’s Omnibus.
The Sirloin Superseded.
Once mighty roast beef was the Englishman’s food.
It has now grown so dear that ’tis nearly tabooed.
But Australian beef, potted, is cheap and is good.
O, the Boiled Beef of Australia!
And O, the Australian Boiled Beef!
