And to drink, I water shun like a mad dog—Tom Smith.

If “a guinea you’ve to spend,” I advise you as a friend,

To put it in the Savings’ Bank forthwith—Tom Smith.

You will want it before long, and sing another song,

Unless, as I suspect, you are a myth—Tom Smith.

CHEER, BOYS! CHEER!

Cheer, boys! cheer! no more of idle sorrow,

Courage, true hearts, shall bear us on our way!
