Buy—Buy—Buy, &c.
About Australian “Diggins” Agitators they keep crying,
“New Lamps for Old Ones,” and thousands them are buying;
But oh, beware, or else you’ll find, as Jason did in Greece, Sir,
You’re ruined Muttons after all, all through the Golden fleece, Sir.
Buy—Buy—Buy, &c.
In a country which you all know well, close to the one that we’re in,
They bawled “New Lamps for Old Ones,” to all who were in hearing (Erin);
They bought the Lamp up eagerly, from men so much distinguished.
But it only kept alight a week, and then it was extinguished.
