   for protection you must call in the stranger
   With nothing to gain he'll mock your appeals.

   Just you take note of the "cattle embargo,"
   Its points of course your business is going;
   Examine the boundary Commission Manifesto,
   And the standing pimp of Farmanagh-Tyrone

   As premier a trifle of experience you've got
   Your expense and trouble in the corner is great
   Cancel Partition, that will nil the lot,
   And jump into the Irish Free State.

   Your interests will be fairly protected
   To Westminster no more you need to own
   Come up to Dublin where you'll be respected
   Remember to adage "There's no place like home."
