| Brothers | A |
| There comes one little period in the day | C |
| When each of us may say | C |
| 'Away | B |
| Away with care and thoughts of toil and stress and pain ' | D |
| And as we journey home in car or tram or train | E |
| Let us leave office worries far behind | F |
| Banish domestic troubles from the mind | F |
| And just go gay | C |
| Say | C |
| Once a day | C |
| For just a few brief minutes let us play | C |
| Let us be joyous and with quip and quirk | G |
| Forget the drudgery of daily work | G |
| And from this daily column | H |
| Banish the somnolent the sad the solemn | H |
| Let us foregather brothers and discuss | I |
| Eliminating all the fume and fuss | I |
| The vagaries of our uncertain weather | J |
| Let us commune together | J |
| Upon the steadfastness of politicians | K |
| The fate of nations and the strange conditions | K |
| Imposed on us in this our daily life | L |
| Mayhap indeed the wife | L |
| Waits home to greet our coming with a tale | M |
| Of household woes to turn a strong man pale | M |

| Discuss | I |
| The hot sock | O |
| And the short frock | O |
| Of men and modes and manners let us talk | P |
| Giving dull care a cunning miss in baulk | P |
| We WILL be gay | P |
| Just once a day | P |
| We shall consider strikes in merry mood | Q |
| And even joke about the price of food | Q |
| And all that sort of thing | P |
| So it may bring | P |
| Joy to our hearts and to our worn minds ease | R |
| I shall do all the talking if you please | R |
| And if perchance you cry 'How bright | S |
| How clever ' | D |
| Why then of course However | J |
| The thread of my discourse is somewhat broken | T |
| But brothers I have spoken | T |
