How do you recreate yourselves,
My boy, HOBBY O? (bis)
We spout with tavern Radicals,
And drink with them hob-nobby O!
5.
What purpose can such folly work,
My boy, HOBBY O? (bis)
It gives our partisans a chance
Watches to twitch from fob-by O!
6.
Have they no higher game in view,
My boy, HOBBY O? (bis)
Oh yes; to stir the people up,
And then to head the mob-by O.
7.
But sure they'll at their ruin pause,
My boy, HOBBY O? (bis)
No! they'd see King and Parliament
Both d—d without a sob-by O!
8.
But, if they fail, they'll be hanged up,
My boy, HOBBY O? (bis)
Why, then, they'll swing, like better men,
And that will end the job-by O!
