When all night long a chap remains br On sentry-go, to chase monotony br He exercises of his brains, br That is, assuming that he's got any. br Though never nurtured in the lap br Of luxury, yet I admonish you, br I am an intellectual chap, br And think of things that would astonish you. br I often think it's comical br How Nature always does contrive br That every boy and every gal, br That's born into the world alive, br Is either a little Liberal, br Or else a little Conservative! br Fal lal la! br br When in that house M.P.'s divide, br If they've a brain and cerebellum, too, br They've got to leave that brain outside, br And vote just as their leaders tell 'em to. br But then the prospect of a lot br Of statesmen, all in close proximity, br A-thinking for themselves, is what br No man can face with equanimity.
