Who was Dibbs's greatest foe? Random Reid the ranter O! Who would make the protection go? Random Reid the ranter O! Who was that who used to say He'd sweep the duties all away Without a single hour's delay? Random Reid the ranter O!
Random Reid the ranter O! Reid the bland recanter O! Let us quaff A Shandy-gaff To Random reid the ranter O!
Who got on to Dibbs and Co.? Wriggler Reid the ranter O! Who declared he'd run the show? Wriggler Reid the ranter O! Who was proved a statesman wise At milk-and-water enterprise, And half and half, and compromise? Wriggler Reid the ranter O!
Wriggler Reid the ranter O! The man of chaff and banter O! Who's several minds Of divers kinds Wriggler Reid the ranter O!
