MERCHANDIsE
Merchandise Merchandise Tortoise she'll spices
Carpets and ndgo-sent Ger the high seas;
Mother-o Pearl from the Solomon Isles
Brought by brgantine ten thousand miles
Rubber from Zanzibar tea from NangPo,
copra from Hayti and wine from Bordeaux; !.
Ships with top-gallants and royals unfured,
Are bringing in freights from the ends Of the world
Crazy old wind jammers manned by Malays
With rat-ridden bulkheads and creaking old stays
Reeking OF bilge and of paint and Of pitch
That's how your fat city merchant grew rich;
but with tramps, heavy laden, and liners untold
You may lease new life to world that's grown old
By their men and their ships and their trade
So widen your harbors your docks and your quays,
And hazard your wares on the wide ways,
Run out your railways and hew out your coal
Feed up your furnaces fashion your steel,
Stick to your bargains and pay the deal
Rich is your birthright, and well you'll be paid
II you keep In good faith with your overseas trade.
Build up your commerce, AID pull dow. your slur=s;
Sail Plimsol that marks a full hold;
Your overseas trade means a harvest of gold.
Bring in the palm oil and pepper you've bought,
But send out ten times the amount you import;
Trade your inventions, your labor and sweat;
Your overseas traffic will keep We from debt.
Hark to the song of the shuttle and loom,
keep up your crawl to your tombl''
