There was Rundle, Station Master, / An' Beazeley of the Rail, / An' 'Ackman, Commissariat, / An' Donkin' o' the Jail; / An' Blake, Conductor-Sargent, / Our Master twice was 'e, / With 'im that kept the Europe-shop, / Old Framjee Eduljee.
Outside -- "Sergeant! Sir! Salute! Salaam! " / Inside -- "Brother", an' it doesn't do no 'arm. / We met upon the Level an' we parted on the Square, / An' I was Junior Deacon in my Mother-Lodge out there!
