Riding the Tiger

Tiger, Tiger, turning right In the pitch on Friday night, Will tobacco, iron and chrome Somehow bring the bacon home?

Where is Brown? and where's His Nibs? What's become of Humphrey Gibbs? Who can any longer doubt Duncan Sandys is running out?

Men like Mr Lardner-Burke Don't make constitutions work. Is there hope that he will see He who made the blacks made me?

Tiger, Tiger, turning right In the pitch on Friday night, What will all this troubled toil Come to, if they stall on oil?
