And the people were complainin', just as
people sometimes will,
That the General Assembly wasn't more

So this solemn old committee crowded right
into the room,

So they searched the constitution, and they
hunted all the books,
Till the broth came near to burnin' from the
number of the cooks.
For every man among EN- had his own

And he sort o. thought the others didn't
know where they were at
So they finally concluded that to frame u

And they didn't sleep in day time, and they
didn't eat at night,
But they set to work to fay him, and they
worked with all their might.
So they fastened down the transom, and

Everywhere the GREAT ADDREssoRs billed

Waiting for a special message-that the
Guv'nor had resigned.
But the Guv'nor kept his counsel land his

And If any one was troubled, why, he didn't

Well, il happened somewhat later, that the
