He said "I hunt for haddocks' eyes
Among the heather bright, And work them into waistcoat-buttons In the silent night. And these I do not sell for gold Or coin of silvery shine, But for a copper halfpenny, And that will purchase nine". |

Sung by the 'saviour of many an ailing business' I believe.
"I sometimes dig for buttered rolls, Or set limed twigs for crabs; I sometimes search the grassy knolls For wheels of hansom-cabs. And that's the way" (he gave a wink) "By which I get my squint- And very gladly will I chrge A glass for Erskin Quint." |
