A Song
“You've called on me to sing a song. ¶ I'll try what I can do...”
You've called on me to sing a song.
I'll try what I can do,
I dont say what I can do,
I dont say whether good or bad.
But that I'll leave to you.
The subjects now before us and I solemnly do declare,
That there's nothing half so handsome
As a nobby head of hair.
II
Perhaps you think I'm bragging,
But the proog of it is clear,
If you only twig the company that sits around us here.
Now something I will tell you now pray don't at me stare.
There's nothing half so handsome.
As a nobby head of hair.(continues on next page) - Collector
