A long time ago!

Chorus.—In the days, &c.

Both. Oh, brayvo, BOBBY!

Master Robert. Thanks. Yet my song's burden

Is dismal as the croakings of Dame Durden.

Our holiday is spoilt by driving showers.

I fear we shall have no great show of flowers;

But—anyhow my boys we're under cover;

And let us hope that storm-cloud will pass over

Without first giving us a dreadful drenching,
