    We both pulled together
    And the pull was very hard.
    I brought the waist of it,
    And Towser brought the
    rest of it.
    I left my seat of honour,
    In Mac Gees back yard,
    I had on a brand new suit,
    A black silk hat and
    gloves to suit,

    To tackle in my pants,

    liberty.

    to me.
