<p>You go aboard a leaky boat<br/>
And sail for San Francisco,<br/>
You've got to pump to keep her afloat,<br/>
You've got that, by jingo!<br/>
The engine soon begins to squeak,<br/>
But nary a thing to oil her;<br/>
Impossible to stop the leak,—<br/>
Rip, goes the boiler.</p>
<p>The captain on the promenade<br/>
Looking very savage;<br/>
Steward and the cabin maid<br/>
Fightin' 'bout the cabbage;<br/>
All about the cabin floor<br/>
Passengers lie sea-sick;<br/>
Steamer bound to go ashore,—<br/>
Rip, goes the physic.</p>
<p>Pork and beans they can't afford,<br/>
The second cabin passengers;<br/>
The cook has tumbled overboard<br/>
With fifty pounds of sassengers;<br/>
The <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page408" name="page408"></SPAN>(p. 408)</span> engineer, a little tight,<br/>
Bragging on the Mail Line,<br/>
Finally gets into a fight,—<br/>
Rip, goes the engine.</p>
