It is capital cold; it is excellent hot;
And, if a large number of children you’ve got,
’Twill greatly assist you in boiling the pot.
O, the Boiled Beef, &c.
First-rate is Australian mutton, likewise,
For curries, and rissoles and puddings, and pies.
The thrifty good housewife no butcher’s meat buys.
O, the Boiled Beef, &c.
It will make you a hash that is fit for a king.
And the young ones all like it, and that’s a great thing.
