Oh! let me say my catechism,
As my poor mammy taught to me.
Make haste' make haste, says guzzling Jacky,
Whilst Jim pulled out his snicker-snee.
So Bill went up the main top-gallant mast,
When down he fell on his bended knee.
He scarce had said his catechism,
When up he jumps; "There's land I see!
"There's Jerusalem and Madagascar,
And North and South Ameri-key.
