For I’m in a great hurree!

“I like the drinks at St. Charles’ Hotel,

But I never could bear strong Porter,

Especially when it is served in a shell,

Or mixed in an iron mortar!”

“I reckon you’re right,” Sir Farragut said,

“I reckon you’re right,” said he;

“For if my PORTER should fly to your head,

A terrible crash there’d be, be, be,

A terrible crash there’d be!”
