William Schwenck Gilbert - The Contemplativ
Work rating: Low

When all night long a chap remains
On sentry-go, to chase monotony
He exercises of his brains,
That is, assuming that he`s got any.
Though never nurtured in the lap
Of luxury, yet I admonish you,
I am an intellectual chap,
And think of things that would astonish you.
I often think it`s comical
How Nature always does contrive
That every boy and every gal,
That`s born into the world alive,
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal lal la!

When in that house M.P.`s divide,
If they`ve a brain and cerebellum, too,
They`ve got to leave that brain outside,
And vote just as their leaders tell `em to.
But then the prospect of a lot
Of statesmen, all in close proximity,
A-thinking for themselves, is what
No man can face with equanimity.
Then let`s rejoice with loud Fal lal
That Nature wisely does contrive
That every boy and every gal,
That`s born into the world alive,
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal lal la!
