   Thus shewing Political sense,
   By paying large Bounties,
   In twenty six counties,
   Making farmers a just recompense.

   Says Labour we'll find work galore,
   For all un-employed, and some more,
   But when they're elected,
   Their dupes are neglected,
   And starve on the dole, as before.

   Mac Dermott is still going strong,
   And though he's not here very long,
   His new Centre Party
   Is fit, hale and hearty,
   And swears it will right every wrong.

   I don't know which party will win,
   I do know that when they get in,
   They'll draw their good pay,
   And squabble all day,
   And kick up the usual din.

   And all this goes down on the Rate,
   Although we are called a Free State,
   The poor old scapecoat,
   Is the man with a vote,
   He discovers this fact when he's late.
