Still with an iron hand | A |
Rules house and home Like a peevish gnome | B |

And he packs the family off to bed | A |
Since a wireless 'fan' he's grown | C |
And each obeys while Papa stays | D |
And harks to the Test alone | C |

Mr Fitzmickle the martinet | A |
Sat last Saturday night | A |
Glowing with pride as Australia's side | A |
Rose to the loftiest height | A |
Then just as the fun grew furious | E |
And the batsmen forged ahead | A |
Came a horrible shriek a click and a squeak | F |
And the speaker went stone dead | A |

Mr Fitzmickle the martinet | A |
Fiddled with urgent thumb | G |
At many a screw in a terrible stew | A |
But ever the set stayed dumb | G |
So up the stairs in his stocking feet | A |
He stole to his small son there | H |
Whose expert hand now took command | A |
And the Test was again on the air | H |

Mr Fitzmickle the martinet | A |
Frowned at his small meek heir | H |
'You'll wait ' said he 'lest the thing won't gee | I |
Quiet sir Sit over there ' | - |
And his small son hugging himself in glee | I |
As the game went merrily on | J |
Sat listening in with a rapturous grin | K |
To the triumphs of 'Billy' and 'Don ' | - |

Mr Fitzmickle the martinet | A |
Seized with a strange wild joy | L |
As the centuries came with his eye aflame | M |
Clutched at the startled boy | L |
And Mrs Fitzmickle roused from sleep | N |
Saw a sight to wonder at | A |
Fitzmickle and son at half past one | O |
Dancing a jig on the mat | A |
- | |
Mr Fitzmickle the martinet | A |
Said with a sheepish grin | K |
'Why Mother's here Sit down my dear | P |
Sit down and listen in ' | - |
And the small son whispered when all was o'er | Q |
And the winter dawn began | R |
In his mother's ear 'Ma ain't it queer | P |
Pappas's just like a man ' | - |
