[00:00.53]What is it
[00:01.61]What do you suppose
[00:02.90]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:05.31]What is it what is it
[00:07.02]What do you suppose
[00:08.55]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:10.08]Dullards build their self-esteem
[00:13.47]By inventing cruelties
[00:17.07]Even so the law restrains
[00:20.00]Too impetuous enterprise
[00:23.42]Fishing is a lonely trade
[00:25.47]Single men have much to bear
[00:29.35]If a man's work cannot be made decent
[00:32.42]Let him stay ashore
[00:34.00]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:35.92]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:37.24]My flock oh what a weight is this
[00:39.79]My burden pastoral
[00:41.59]But what a dangerous faith is this
[00:44.33]That gives souls equality
[00:46.87]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:48.53]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:49.99]Grimes is at his exercise
[00:51.63]When the Borough gossip starts
[00:55.22]Somebody will suffer
[00:57.09]Grimes is at his exercise
