First he learned to blow his nose,
Then he learned to make his clothes,
And then he learned to bake and brew.
Then, quaff, boys, &c.

If it's wrong to press the vine--

As noble a heart may be fun in a man
'At's a poor fusten coit for his best,
An 'at knows he mun work or else he mun clam,
As yo'll find i' one mich better drest.

Soa, here's to all th' workers wheariver they be,

And the dule tak all them 'at wod mak us less free,
Or rob us o'th' wages we haddle.

'Them's just my sentiment,' sed one o'th' singers, 'an'
