And she makes no noise when going, With no steam nor sail nor rowing, And but little of her showing, Sing a dy-na mo ! She can go acro3s the sea, faing a dy-nu-mq I "Worke-1 by electricitee, SmK a dy-na-mo! And shoy say she's a first-rater. Thongh I uan't explain the natur, Or that there accumulator ; aingady-ua-mo!
