The Comedy of War

There was an ould man, an' he had a wooden leg,An' he had no terbacky, nor terbacky could he beg;There was another ould man, as keen as a fox,An' he always had terbacky in his ould terbacky box.

"Sez one ould man, 'Will yez give me a chew?'Sez the other ould man, 'I 'll be dommed ef I do.Kape away from them gin-mills, an' save up yure rocks,An' ye 'll always have terbacky in yer ould terbacky box.'"
