I've got the dumpophobia bad, / As is easy for to see; / (When a little lad I was bit by a mad / Manufacturin' man, maybe! ) / An' I simply goes clean off my chump / If anyone 'appens to mention 'dump.'
For it's 'Out wi' they furriner folks! ' sez I; / Will we take it 'lying down,' / When they dumps cheap goods (as we wants to buy) / Into every British town? / (Tho' per'aps it's a thing as they wouldn't do / If we 'adn't a-given 'em orders to! )
