Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lo'-rum, Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lay.

Thomas Hardy - The Trumpet-Major

When rich' men find' their wealth' a curse', And fill' there-with' the poor' man's purse'; Then lit'-tle Bo'-ney he'll pounce down', And march' his men' on Lon'-don town'! Chorus. Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lo'-rum, Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lay. Poor Stanner!
Thomas Hardy - The Trumpet-Major

Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lo'-rum, Rol'-li-cum ro'-rum, tol'-lol-lay. It was a verse which had been omitted by the gallant Stanner, out of respect to the ladies.

Thomas Hardy - The Trumpet-Major
