SONG of the " A. B. C's." 
 
 Qiiz : — " '©ew tfvou>awb i4iil'c5 au)ay!"

 Tis true, as a crew, we are somewhat new, 
 And we sail on a saltless sea ; 
 We wear gaudy coats, but we cut no throats 
 Nor are given to piracee, 
 But by gentle arts we assail the hearts 
 Of the maids when ashore Wt u:o - o - o. 
 So beware, have a care, 
 Our Merretl is rare - 
 And we live but to love and to woo ! 
 (Chorus) Then roll DeschSnes, &c. 
 
 If one thing be where we did'nt agree 
 
 'Twas the flag of the Committee, 
 
 'Twas white and black, for the Union Jack, 
 
 With a leaf from the old oak-tree ; 
 
 But an army of two, stood for gold and blue 
 
 And would' nt be budged from their cour - or - orse, 
 
 So when the club for fun 
 
 Would adopt neither one,- 
 
 Why, some of us fiwm-ed with re-ilf*»r.se I 
 
 (Chorus) Then roll Deschenes, &c. 
 
3- But the strii'e is o'er and we turn once more 
 To the merry camp-fire's glow, 
 Were no Bale -d breath I'or tear of Co>ite. 
 Shall make the fun go (slow ; 
 We will sing to the lips of our " nippy-tips" 
 (Though we all can't sing in too - oo - oon!) 
 And in mellow-rye, 
 If not melodye, 
 
 Hoop it up to the smiling Moon. * 
 
 (Chorus). Then roll Deschencs, &(\ 
 
 4. Its a motley scroll, our muster roll. 
 Though we're happily free from cranks, 
 There's part of our mess from the old "C S." 
 And many a chap from the banks ; 
 
 There's a man from the Mills who gives Cupid chills, 
 For he counts his hearts in ga-loro - ore ! ore ! 
 But pray don't conceive 
 That it's Austin or Neeve, 
 Or the man from Singapore. 
 
 (Chorus). Then roll Deschenes, Sec. 
 
 5. Don't let us forget in taking a wet 
 Our Cowm/o^/o/e bold and gay ! 
 
 On whose saucy bark full many a lark 
 
 Hath driven dull care away. 
 
 She's a very good yacht, though she rolls like a sot 
 
 In the trough of the troubled sea - ee -- ee ; 
 
 But Boalswain Smith 
 
 Probes the thing to its pith 
 
 When he blames it to Bnrreff-ry ! 
 
 (Chorus) Then roll DeschAnes, tSre.

 6. Now it's a crying shamo, that ov'ry-body's name 
 Won't work into reason or rhyme ! 
 There's a lot of ns here, who in print don't appear 
 Who are high old boys on a time ! 
 Such as HuhbeJI and Dicky (whom the girls vote a brick!) 
 And Hanning whose plans ne'er slip - ip - ip ; 
 There is Z./i7er and Jiar^A; 
 Who can paddle a whack ! 
 • And the Telln who's fond of his " nip !" 
 (Chorus) Then roll Deschenes, &;o.

 Now w^e'll close our song, for its waxing long, 
 
 And our Admiral.^x throat is dry ; 
 
 He's a jolly old chap, just awaked from a nap, 
 
 With his face all turned a - (w) rye ! 
 
 So fill your glasses, and drink to the lasses. 
 
 For each has his guiding star - ar - ar : 
 
 Let our voices ring clear 
 
 In an "A. B C. " cheer: 
 
 Hip! Hip! Hip ! Hip ! Hurrah ! 
 
 (CHORUS.) 
 
 Then roll Deschenes, heigh - ho ! 
 
 Upon thy wave we'll go ; 
 
 With paddle and sail 
 
 We'll brave the gale 
 
 And take the girls in tow - o - o. 
 
 No colour is worn, I ween, 
 
 Like the salmon and the green ; 
 
 Then fling it to the breeze 
 
 For the" A. B. C's " 
 
 Never quail at wrath marine I
