Though English, half English, you know.

For Salisbury, Gladstone and Bright all agree

(They're English, you know; all English, you know,)

That this new Fair Trade fad is pure fiddle-de-dee.

(Not English, you know; not English, you know.)

The Farmers and Landlords want prices to rise,

So they look on Fair Trade with encouraging eyes;

But they'll hardly get Statesmen to be their allies,

Who're English, you know; true English, you know.
