What do I care if Trunks are low,

Argentines flat, Home Rails neglected?

Though mines may come and mines may go,

I'm indescribably dejected.

They may be, I am, "dull" and "weak."

Confound my throbbing, swollen cheek!

What do I care which party's in,

To take more pennies from my income,

Or, if from tax on beer or gin,

Or milk and water extra "tin" come?
