INSURANCE

[_]

Air—“What can a Young Lassie.”

The premium is ae thing—the duty's anither,
It comes a' thegither to saxty pound three,
An' ilk year at Yule it gars us sing dool—
It's a terrible pull on a poor family!
But the gudeman was failin' an' constantly ailin',
'Twas high time that his life insurèd should be;
And on ilk occasion it's some consolation
That we'll a' be provided for gin he should die.
