    Another great asset for which we give thanks,
    Is the fact there we're furnished with wonderful Banks,
    If an overdraft's needed, or a loan- so they say
    Just tap Mr Beattie, or Mr M Veagh.
    Our Show every year has been one huge success,
    Great men at the helm, sure it could not be less,
    Frank Flynn & Kenny - what treasures we've got,
    In the Rector, the Canon, Tom Gannon and Knott.
    The Civic Guard Barracks with flag pole complete,
    Is in the West end, at the top of Main Street.
    And Sergeant O'Connor knows law by the yard,
    But to give him his due, he's not frightfully hard.
    George OMalley supplies all the best makes in cars,
    Canning Brothers & Dolan stock beer and cigars,
    Hart and Gannon turn out most excellent suits,
    Gibson, P. Henry and Bradshaw sell boots.
    A wonderful project - the President's Dream -
    In other words known as the Great Shannon Scheme,
    Is now close at hand, and we fervently hope
    They'll pay all that's due to our friend Mr Cope.
