   D                  G            D
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray,

we're taking the road to the Dodder-on-down

    A                 D
to march in the last parade.

I will go, I will meet you there,

  D             
Play the harp and play the fiddle,

  G               D
play the whistle too, 

 G                 D
bang the drum and use the lungs,

    A      
to get the message through. 

         D                    
But you fight, you might get tar-and-feathered,

     G              D
so, bow and say a prayer,

        G                  D
to the Commission for the Abolition

A                 D
