Hey, my lad, ho, my lad!
Here’s a New Broom.
Heaven’s your housetop
And Earth is your room.
Tuck up your shirtsleeves,
There’s plenty to do
Look at the muddle
That’s waiting for you !
Dust in the corners
And dirt on the floor,
Cobwebs still clinging
To window and door.
Hey, my lad! ho, my lad!
Nimble and keen
Here’s your New Broom, my lad!
See you sweep clean.
