The youth who winked a roving eye, Or breathed a non-connubial sigh, Was thereupon condemned to die— He usually objected. And you'll allow, as I expect, That he was right to so object. And I am right, And you are right, And everything is quite correct!

And you are right, And we are right, &c.

And we are right, I think you'll say, To argue in this kind of way And I am right, And you are right, And all is right—too-looral-lay!

And you are right, And we are right, &c.
