I've never held a statesman's place
Nor sat among the great;
I've never Ted through life's race
As | am frank to state,
I've always been a humble clerk,
A slave to pen and ink;
But as I've gone about my work
I've never had to stink.
ne'er have had protectors high
To shield me from the storm;
No boss has Ger with friendly eye
Surveyed my humble form
Beneath no broad wing may Turk,
And at the public blink,
Still, as I go about my work
do not have to stink
| have no strong and friendly ring
Drawn round me like a moat;
No lobbyists their dollars bring
To buy my humble vote.
Compelled to toll like any Turk,
stand upon wants brink;
Still. as go about my work
