  1. (continued from previous page)
    6. A passive resistance he tried Mag Mack.
    When pitchfork you stuck in his side Mag Mack.
    Like an actor or clown he used throw himself down.
    When you wallop the sore on his side Mag Mack.

    7. Well success to your beautiful chaise Mag Mack.
    You are the picture of comfort and grace Mag Mack.
    As you glide off in style 3 minutes a mile.
    You'd challenge a motor to race Mag Mack.

    8. But you should not forget the old ass Mag Mack.
    Though he's gone to the kennel alas Mag Mack.
    When passing the car your blackthorn he'd bar
    And he'd take twenty minutes to pass Mag Mack.

    9. He had got a queer way on his own Mag Mack.
    Which would make you feel grum at his going Mag Mack.
    If the car were on fire and his tail tied with wire.
    Still he'd creep like a snail on a stone Mag Mack.
