You Blitishee >o goodee, it almost make ma cly; You all so welly kindee, me welly glatify. We poor Chinee, we comee, no father, mother, chink, No lalliken* to keepee—me happy, make me blink. No usee too much ricee, it too much dutee
pay; ■ • And cabbagee and callottee well good for* stlength all day. You Eulopean too much plide, wantee fine dless to gleat; We get lich, mallee Chinee girls, they keepee house all stlaight ; We likee widow takee shop, with plenty child to keep, We soon lun all the fluit shop then, because* we seloe cheap. Tell Govelment we welly pleased put plentea poll tax on; No want more countlymen to come till we get lich and gone. Eulopean man with famileo pay poll tax evely year In duteo on necessitee, and dless, tobacco. beer. It pay poleecc plotect our shops, that seemea welly clear. When we go home where lotus feet swarm round like busy bee, We send our blothers, keep our shops, now— Goodce-bye . Siti Lee, * f Lallikcn • Children.
