A smith had an apprentice once
\nWho was not very fa-a-a-a-ast,
\nOf all the workers in the crew
\nHe always was the last.
\nBut this is what he did at noon
\nWhen lunch was served for all;
\nHe was the first one in the line,
\nHe never missed the call.<\/p>\n
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nWe’re just as gay as we can be.
\nHallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nThere’s none as gay as we.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we can be.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we.<\/p>\n
The blacksmith said to him,
\n“My boy, I wonder, yes I do-o-o-o-o.
\nI always thought that ‘slow at work’
\nMeant ‘slow at eating’ too.
\nWith you, it doesn’t work that way,
\nYou save your hands and feet.
\nAt work, you’re slow and lazy,
\nBut you hurry when you eat.”<\/p>\n
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nWe’re just as gay as we can be.
\nHallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nThere’s none as gay as we.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we can be.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we.<\/p>\n
“You wonder, well, I’ll tell you!”
\nSaid the young man with a ro-o-o-o-oar,
\n“We eat a mere one-hour lunch,
\nBut work for FOURTEEN more.
\nNow, if I’d use those fourteen hours
\nTo lunch instead of work,
\nI’d eat as slowly as could be,
\nBut work I would not shirk!”<\/p>\n
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nWe’re just as gay as we can be.
\nHallee halloh, halloh hallee,
\nThere’s none as gay as we.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we can be.
\nTra la la, tra la la,
\nAs gay as we.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
