Bound up your cousins, John, your,

AnA bring along your music, and let

Dress them all in unirorm, and have

And bedeck their little caps with a
snowy-white cockade.

Seeing them the great attraction of a

Organize a show, John. Begin it right

As sure as you are Kin to apes, a

By your nimble kinsmen, you would

And watch them c&toh the pennies in
