It’s of three politicians, and a rattin’ they did go;
An’ they ratted, an’ they ranted, an’ they blew their horns also.
Look ye there!
An’ one said, “Mind yo’r een, an’ keep yo’r noses reet i’ th’ wind,
An’ then, by scent or seet we’ll leet o’summat to our mind.”
Look ye there!
(Portraits of Chamberlain, Goschen and Hartington.)
They ratted, an’ they ranted, an’ the first thing they did find
Was a Grand Old Statesman in a field, an’ him they left behind.
Look ye there!
