S'posin'

What if the new San Francisco should sail To Chilian waters away, With the Boston and Yorktown afar in the east, 'Nd the Lancaster off in Bombay; 'Nd the big Philadelphia—s'posin' she wuz A-loadin' with tea in Japan, With the Concord and Bennington flyin' so gay Their colors around Hindostan; 'Nd s'posin' the Charleston wuz in Bering Sea, With the Newark in Pamlico Sound, 'Nd the Miantonomah's big bilers should bust, 'Nd the Baltimore run hard aground; Then s'posin' we got in a fight right away With Chili or even Peru, 'Nd England should work the shell game on New York, Say—what in the deuce would we do?
