Never Rise Off Their Arse.

Rebel Tam.

When rebel Tam was in the pit

He tholed the very pangs o' Hell

In fechtin' for the rights o' Man,

And ga'e nae thoucht unto himsel'.

"If I was in Parliament,

By God!" he vowed, "they soon would hear

The trumpet-ca' o' Revolution

Blastin' in their ear!"

Noo he is there, back-bench Tam,

And listens daily to the farce

O' Tweedledum and Tweedledee,

And never rises off his arse.
