    Song
    On Sunday last when on a walk
    A sight "Old faithful did see;
    Twas "Mick" on his motor bike
    And very fine looked he
    ii
    Twas raining hard around about
    And up the hill he sped
    "Old faithful" looked on in wonder
    Where's Katie then he said
    iii
    The girls appeared from every side
    And poor Mick - he got shy
    Along her went in slower pace
    Till Katie met his eye
    iv
    Old Faithful passed by all smiling
    And knew by Katie's face
    That she just wished then, far away
    From this their meeting place
    v
    At last the time had glided by
    And poor Mick had to go
    Old Faithful looked on in pity
