A SONG.
Written by a Refugee on reading the King's Speech,
and sung at the refugee Club in this City.
Tune,--Hearts of Oak.
Here's a bumper brave boys to the health of our King,
Long may he live, and long may we sing,
In praise of a Monarch, who boldly defends
The laws of a realm, and the course of his friends.
Then cheer up my lads, we have nothing to fear
While we remain steady, And always keep ready
To add to the trophies of this happy year.
. . . [3 more verses of 4 lines each, each followed by the
refrain of "Then cheer up my lads. . . "]
