| Still with an iron hand | A |

| 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 ' | - |
