| Caught this bit of news | |
| From unexpected quarters | |
| You in your close-knit family | |
| Who says what you should be after | |
| Don't you know what you should be after | |
| Unless you consult the head of the table | |
| The head of the table | |
| He's stern and strong | |
| Caught this bit of news | |
| From unexpected quarters | |
| Such a close-knit family | |
| Keeps you on the straight and narrow | |
| You find that you're unable | |
| To do what you want | |
| The head of the table | |
| He's stern and strong | |
| So run along | |
| Little boy run along | |
| The head of the table would bend | |
| If you're able to prove that you're right | |
| And he's wrong |
