"Your sordid manners please amend -- No man can possibly offend Who has a Member for a friend. "With euchre, or a friendly rub, And whisky, from the nearest 'pub', We'll make the dockyard like a club. "Heave ho, my hearties, play away, We'll do no weary work today. What odds -- the public has to pay! "And if the public should complain I'll go to Broken Hill by train To watch McCarthy making rain." And there, with nothing else to do No doubt the great E. W. Will straightway raise McCarthy's screw.
