Sing a song OF Cleveland,
With pockets wrong side out;
Many idle workmen
Standing all about.
English factories busy.
Having quite boom;
India and Australia sending
Materials to consume.
Euglish vessels bringing us
Goods John Hull has sold,
Taking back In payment
Our silver and our gold.
Auctioneers quite merry,
Like boys Just out OF school;
Western farmers burning
Wheat and corn for fuel.
Then wave the red bandanna,
Made across the sea:
When we destroy the tariff
How happy shall we be.
