And the trophy she hid what naughty sin
At half past twelve the whistle blew
And every man TO, his ovcrcoat flew
They seemed to know. there was something

To Harmonson's Model Hotel they went.
To eat all he had. and then pay his rent
Then give him political job they say.
That pays not quite one hundred day
All honor TO this most genial host
So up with your cups and give him n toast.
