Ochone! Ochone! Where am Oi now? What conflict am Oi in?
Do Oi belong in Dublin town or back in Ould Berlin?
A week ago me son was borrn; his christ'nin's not far off;
Oi wonther will I call him Mike, or Friedrich Wilhelm Hoff?
'Tis hard indade for one loike me to know jist whore he's at;
Oi wonther if me name is Hans or if it shtill is Pat?
But lot me bore ye all no more; the proper course is clear.
Oi'll slanther England all Oi dare, an' rayson niver hear.
A loyal, "noothral" Oi shal be in all me wurrds an' worrk.
An' niver shpake excipt to praise the Dutchman an' the Turrk'
The Conservative.
