Oh! The Daily News began with a bang,
And was going to shut up The Times.
And twaddled that murderers never should hang,
And printed “large sympathy” rhymes.
But still the old gallows its reign enjoyed:
And still did “The People” refuse,
To trust to the rhymes that their friends deployed,
In the sheets of The Daily News.
What large sums they have learnt to lose,
Who first embarked in The Daily News.
