I'm the boss of this ere country, And a sterling Democrat ; Just take a note of. that, • • ■ And we'll ;haY«. a little ohat.- .. Her Majesty the Queen I recently have seen, ' And you know I'ye had a yarn with the Pope ; To hteHolioess who 'sits at Borne I've spoke. ■ ■'. ";--\ -iCCHORtrS. ' ... . As I pushed along amongst the throng at the Becord Jubilee / ■ The Universitee conferred .the L.L.D., > I now can charge the six and eight To the Anglo-German Syndicate— I'm the' man to make a ' bank and save a country. \ • Now, John, I hear you have not been As faithful, or as true As I expected you ; . / 'Twas the least that yon could do. But while I've been away ' • ' With "Ward you've gone astray, ' And this is what its come to at' the last — He has ruined us and you're happiness is past. , cborus. . r As I pushed along amongst the throng at the Record Jubilee ' ' The Universitee conferred the. L.L.D., I now can charge the six and eight • . a To the Anglo-German' Syndicate — I'm the man to make a bank and save a country. ' You've bungled up your own affairs, And I shall just relate What you said would be the fate Of the Bushy Park Estate. The rowdy Shag Point men, They howled at Scobie when '" v He called us spielers, you said it was not true — 'Twas for the people if you got your land bill through. - . • , , '•'- CHORUS. You should have pushed' along amongst the throng 1 If your brains were not effete, And made your boodle neat . From New Zealand frozen meat. You see I can charge the six and eight To the Anglo-German Syndicate— I'm the man to make a bank and save a country. There's Poinahaka in the South, With that you're fairly floored ; You must get those rentals lowered - And blame the blooming Board. ' It's a rather nasty thing, " Fao's are chiola that wjnna dins " ; And you must admit . that wily Douglas scored, „ ; You'll have to scrub it on Otngo's washingboard. ' CHORUS. You should have pushed along amongst the throng If your brains were not effete, And made your boodle, neat . - From New Zealand frozen meat. You see I can charge the six and eight To the Anglo-German Syndicate — I'm the man to make a bank and save a country. • John's Keply. Mester Seddon, she will neffer. I For why and what forefter i She will neffer mind If the rents are all pehind ; She's no frichted in ta lobby For Hutchison or Scobie, ! But she's frichted to pc procht pefore ta judge ! Yes, bhe's friohted for New Zealand's Tory i Judge. , ■ j . CHORUS. She can push along amongst the throng as [ she did at Jubilee _ ' , When the Universitee conferred the "L.TjJD., ' She now can charge the six and eight !To the Anglo-German Syndioate — \ I'm the man who grabbed the park to save I the country.
