The Hobbies

1. Attention pray give
  while of hobbies I sing,
For each has his hobby
  from cobbler to king;
On some fav’rite hobby
  we all get astride,
And when we’re once
  mounted full gallop we ride.

(REFRAIN)
All on hobbies, all on hobbies,
All on hobbies, Gee up, gee oh!

2. Some hobbies are restive
  and hard for to govern,
E’en just like our wives,
  they’re so cursedly stubborn;
The hobbies of scolds
  are their husbands to tease
And the hobbies of lawyers
  are plenty of fees.

3. The beaux, those sweet gentlemens’
  hobby, by heck,
Is to wear great large poultices
  tied round the neck,
And think in the tone and the
  tippy they’re dressed,
If they’ve breeches that reach
  from the ankle to chest.

4. The hobbies of sailors,
  when safe moor’d in port,
Are their wives and their sweethearts
  to toy with and sport;
When our navy’s completed,
  their hobby shall be
To show the whole world that
  America’s free.

5. The Americans’ hobby has
  long since been known;
No tyrant or king shall
  from them have the throne.
Their states are united,
  and let it be said
Their hobby is Madison,
  Peace, and free trade.
