THOMSON GREEN AND HARRIET HALE.

To be Sung to the Air of "An 'Orrible Tale."

OH list to this incredible tale
Of Thomson Green and Harriet Hale;
Its truth in one remark you'll sum—
"Twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twum!"

Oh, Thomson Green was an auctioneer,
And made three hundred pounds a year;
And Harriet Hale, most strange to say,
Gave pianoforte lessons at a sovereign a day.
