Direct, universal, free suffrage, my friends,
(That’s English, you know; quite English, you know),
Will vote—well for Me, and all trouble then ends
(That’s English, you know; quite English, you know).
The King, with the Chamber’s concurrence, will rule.
The Deputies then can no more play the fool—
Clemenceau, Boulanger, and men of that school
(That’s English, you know; quite English, you know).

Constitutional principles, these, my good friend!
