Sunderland's Glory

1.

God, save King Hum the Fifth!
If he give Numb a lift,
Great is George Hum!
Richmond's not wholly done;
Thanks to Numb's holy one,
Humbug's Napoleon,
Buckingham's bum!

2.

If he pay Well-content
Ten out of two per cent.,
Hey for George Hum!
Luck is not wholly gone,
Thimblerig's holy one,
Humbug's Napoleon,
Buckingham's bum!

3.

If out of Underfed
Calfhead get Featherbed,
Welcome George Hum!
Miracle's solely done
Now, by George Wholly Gone;
Humbug's Napoleon,
Buckingham's bum!
