When Outward delegations went to Lima, Cairo or Tashkent,You never failed to take the Chair,Adjudging with the greatest careWhich members from those who appliedShould go or should be set aside.

Disappointed chaps were cowedTo know by whom they weren't allowed,When Inward delegations cameThey were invited in your nameAnd said the part they liked the mostWas dining with you as their host.

In Speaker's House they grandly sit,Responding to your charm and wit.

And when at last they travelled from us,Like us they praise our Speaker Thomas.
