Cock-a-doodle-do-o-o-o!!!
Cockfighting is cruel,—but stirring fun, too!
Duty, dear boys! Ah! there's nothing like Duty.
Gives one "repose"—like that Blacksmith of Longfellow!
Go it, young Jap! That last drive was a beauty.
But—your opponent's an awfully strong fellow.
Little bit slow at first, sluggish and lumbering,
But when he makes a fair start there's no slumbering.
Cock-a-doodle-do-o-o-o!!!
Sakes! How his new steel spurs shone as he flew!
