Here's to the Creditor, / Long may he reign!
May his Faith never waver, / His Trust never wane.
May the Lord make him gentle / And gracious and gay, / Yet quick to resent / The least offer of pay: / May he soften his heart / As he softened, we're told, / To the Israelite's 'touch,' / The Egyptian of old; / And when on his last / Long account he shall look, / The angel will say / As he closes the book: / "The Lord gives you Credit / For Credit you gave"!
So here's to the Creditor -- / Long may he waive.
