Oh, where are you going to, all you big steamers
With England's own coal, up and down the salt
seas?
We are going to fetch you your bread and your
butter,
Your beef, pork, and mutton, eggs, apples and
cheese.
For the bread that you eat and the biscuits you
nibble,
The sweets that you suck, and the joints that you
carve -
They are brought to you daily by all us big
steamers,
And if anyone hinders our coming you starve.
Rudyard Kipling
