THE SHUT-EYE SENTRY
221
I've seen them 'ide their liquor
In every kind o' way,
But most depends on makin' friends
With Privit Thomas A.!
When it is 'Rounds! What rounds?' 'E's breathin through 'is nose.
'E's reelin', rollin', roarin' tight, but, sentry, shut your eye.
An' it is 'Pass! All's well!' An that's the way it goes:
We'll 'elp 'im for 'is mother, an' 'e'll 'elp us by-an'-by!
