He summoned all the Cabinet, and there in consultation,
His colleagues helped him form the bill to bring before the nation;
That is, he might have sought their aid, for most of them are ’cute, sir,

And England—it is she who pays—there’s not the slightest doubt, sir;
That is, we should have had to pay the bill if nothing stopped it,
But, fortunately just in time, the Grand Old Man he dropped it.
Bow, wow, wow, &c.
