We help yen anudder ; we welcome the stranger, 
Oursels and our country we'll iver defend ; 
We pay bits of taxes as weel as we’re yable, 
And pray like true Britons, the war hed an end. 
Then Cummerlan’ lads, and ye lish rwosy lasses, 
If some caw ye clownish, ye needn’t think sheame ; 
Be merry and wise, enjoy innocent pleasures, 
And aye seek for health and contentment at heame. *
