I have got me a tablet and pen, I have got me a bottle of ink, And now since I've got to write something at once, I've got to be silent and think. I've got a fair measure of brains, I got a good training in school, But since I have got to discoursing like this, I have got to be much of a fool.

I haven't got all I should get, And I've got to remember a lot.
