| An individualistic cock | B |
| Proclaims the fact | C |
| The dissipated cat sneaks home forlorn | A |
| 'Tis time to get up and act | C |
| 'Tis eight o'clock | B |
| The stern and stalwart anti Socialist | D |
| Freeborn | E |
| And independent citizen whose fist | F |
| Is raised against all Socialistic schemes | G |
| Wakes from the land o' dreams | G |
| Nightmares of Sosh | H |
| Gets up and has a wash | H |
| In water from the Socialistic main | I |
| Empties it down the Socialistic drain | I |
| And giving his moustache the proper twist | F |
| He then | J |
| Breakfasts upon an egg | K |
| Laid by some anti Socialistic | L |
| Hen | J |
| And as he chews | M |
| Endeavours to peruse | M |
| The news | M |
| In some wise publication printing views | M |
| That no right thinking man could grumble at | N |
| And having scoffed the egg | K |
| His hat | N |
| He reaches from its peg | K |
| Perambulates the Socialistic path | O |
| But that | N |
| Annoys him just as little as the bath | O |
| Tho' both essentially are Sosh's works | P |
| He never shirks | P |
| Their use | P |
| But much abuse | P |
| Of Socialistic ideas without excuse | P |
| Flavors his conversation in the train | I |
| The Socialistic train | I |
| But here again | J |
| He is not heard to murmur or complain | I |
| Against the train | I |
| At length the hour | Q |
| Of ten | J |
| Strikes the Socialistic tower | Q |
| And then | J |
| He gains | P |
| His office and enquires | P |
| For letters and for wires | P |
| Nor e'en complains | P |
| They reach him thro' a Socialistic post | R |
| There are a host | R |
| Of letters quite a pile | S |
| Some from his friends | P |
| Ah See him smile | S |
| Cursing the Labor party's aims and ends | P |
| Here is a note | T |
| Bidding him be content and of good cheer | U |
| For in the House last night the Fusion vote | T |
| Defeated Labor on the Telephone | V |
| Discussion Wherefore charges won't be near | U |
| As dear | U |
| As he has cause to fear | U |
| And that reminds him He rings on the 'phone | V |
| And tells a friend | W |
| At t'other end | W |
| That Socialism's better left alone | V |
| Says it emphatically thro' the 'phone | V |
| The Socialistic 'phone | V |
| That instrument | X |
| The Government is running at a loss | P |
| Of very much per cent | Y |
| He knows that it is so | P |
| But is he cross | P |
| No | P |
| He's quite content | Y |
| So through the day | Z |
| He goes his anti Socialistic way | Z |
| Round and about | A2 |
| The town | V |
| Wearing the Socialistic pavement out | A2 |
| Riding in Socialistic trams | P |
| And damning damns | P |
| When Socialism's mentioned with a frown | V |
| As night comes down | V |
| He scorns the Socialistic atmosphere | U |
| Of a plain pub | B2 |
| And beer | U |
| And seeks his club | B2 |
| While here | C2 |
| He drinks | P |
| And tells his fellow members what he thinks | P |
| About the 'Labah pawty' and its claims | P |
| And visionary aims | P |
| They languidly remark 'Hear hear ' | D2 |
| Then out once more | E2 |
| And in a Socialistic tram and train | V |
| On to suburbia and home again | V |
| To his own door | E2 |
| Then to his bed | F2 |
| Laying his wise and proper thinking head | F2 |
| In downy pillow deep | G2 |
| He is about to dropp | G2 |
| To sleep | G2 |
| When 'Flop Flop | G2 |
| Flop' | G2 |
| What's that | N |
| The cat | N |
| Chasing an individualistic rat | N |
| Nay 'tis the footfall of the midnight cop | G2 |
| Echoing through | H2 |
| The stilly night | I2 |
| Telling that I and you | H2 |
| Are guarded in our right | I2 |
| He guards the persons and the propertee | I2 |
| Of you and me | J2 |
| He's a Socialistic institution too | I2 |
| The man in blue | I2 |
| No wonder WILLIAM SIKES | P |
| Dislikes | P |
| The whole blue Socialistic crew | I2 |
| I wish he'd keep | G2 |
| Still that cop | G2 |
| I want to go to sleep | G2 |
| Why does he keep | G2 |
| Flop flop flop | G2 |
| With his big feet | I2 |
| Along the street | I2 |
| Why can't he stop | G2 |
| His Socialistic feet | I2 |
| Why don't he change his beat | I2 |
| Of all the rows I ever heard | I2 |
| Upon my word | I2 |
| When you stop to think of it | I2 |
| A bit | I2 |
| This Socialistic business is absurd | I2 |
