THE PUDDIN'-OWNERS' EVENSONG

'Let feeble feeders stoop

To plates of oyster soup.

Let pap engage

The gums of age

And appetites that droop;

We much prefer to chew

A Steak-and-kidney stew.

'Let yokels coarse appease

Their appetites with cheese.

Let women dream

Of cakes and cream,

We scorn fal-lals like these;

Our sterner sex extols

The joy of boiled jam rolls.

'We scorn digestive pills;

Give us the food that fills;

Who bravely stuff

Themselves with Duff,

May laugh at Doctor's bills.

For medicine, partake

Of kidney, stewed with steak.

'Then plight our faith anew

Three puddin'-owners true,

Who boldly claim

In Friendship's name

The noble Irish stoo,

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurroo!'
