Magnanimity. or Chairman into Cook

Magnanimity. or Chairman into Cook.

First Verse (to be sung softly and simply at the beginning, rising to a crescendo of joy).

When the singings hushed at last
And when Fabian chants no more,
And the final jests are passed.
"Tis the cook who takes the floor.
With a smoking saveloy (
In his high aesthetic hand,
There appears the lofty Mountjoy
With a smile elate and bland.

Chorus (plaintively and reverently):

Oh! Joey Jun.,
The hungrys' boon,
Who bringest soon
A saveloy,

Deal with the kai
With manner high,
To those who cry
And moan and sigh

For J. Mount—joy!

Second Verse (a Paean of praise and thanksgiving).

'Tis the voice that moves men's souls.
'Tis the form that thrills girls' hearts.
A debater, match for Powles,
He appears! and supper starts!!
For he comes and feeds the Club-pub
Which has scoffed at Joe's oration
Which has jeered and raised a hubbub,
Like the famous bull of Bashan.

Chorus (plaintively and reverently, preferably with an harmonium).

Give thanks to Joe!
For men may go
And come—but lo!
There's one who stays

And leads the throng
Of those who long
(As sath the song)
For liquors strong,
To better ways.

—C.G.M.
