    The Botany Boys
    O please pay attention to you I will mention,
    The streets of Lismore where you will scarcly hear noise.
    If you are a sporter and want to drink porter,
    Go have a good night with the Botany Boys.
    If I'm not mistaken the chap Tommy Keating,
    The music he plays it would open your eyes.
    For miles he would padget himself and his gadget,
    To play all the night with the Botany Boys.
    At football they're splendid, they break it they mend it.
    They sit down at table to play forty five.
    You can sit down and mew them but don't try to do them.
    You'll find your mistake in the Botany Boys.
