    I'll sweep you all out
    Money I want
    Money I crave
    If I don't get money, I'll sweep you all to your grave
    All silver, no brass
    If we don't get that
    We must take less

    Room, Room, the gallant boys
    Give us room to rhyme,
    Show you some activity about this Christmas time
    Active young, and active age
    An act like this was never acted on the stage.
