Here i to the steadfast reliable men.
The men with the tongues that's true,
Who won't promise to do any more than they can
But Who al do what they say they II do.
They may not be clever, they re often quite blunt
Without either polish or air,
Rut though it's not an them To put up front,
When you need them they re always there.
So here's to the men on whom one can rely,
And here to their lasting success.
May their species continue to multiply
And their shadow never grow less.
