    Mr Tracey your rum is weak indeed,
    My eyes they are my author,
    Your stout is only single,
    Your whiskey is half water.
    Boasting Bill, you have drank your fill,
    Your jaws are thin and yellow,
    You are a disgrace to your
    father's place,
    And your mother below in the hollow.
    Pat Jack you have a white back,
    You are white before and behind,
    I think you should not be here
