    1. Think of me on the river
    Think of me on the lake
    Think of me on the wedding day
    And send me a piece of the cake.
    2. When you are married
    And your husband is cross
    Take up the poker
    And say "I'm the boss."
    3. When I was young
    And in my bloom
    A dish of stirabout I'd consume
    But now I'm growing old and grey
    There is nothing for me but the "tay."
    4. Love many
    Trust few
    Always paddle your own canoe.
    5. Never make love in a cornfield
    For even the corn has ears.
