Mr. D., I’m gay and jolly, And my fingers I can snap At the Opposition folly, And the Parnellites who yap. I can view the situation With a calm, contented smile, And, whate’er the aggravation, Keep my temper all the while; For I’ve switchbacked, For I’ve switchbacked-- For I’ve switchbacked, Mr. D.; And that patented health-giver Has, in acting on my liver, Made another man of me.
