Summary

A localised adaptation of a music-hall song:

All hands on deck, there's a pretty little girl inside,
All hands on deck, she seems to be alright,
All hands on deck, there's a pretty little girl inside,
She's a pretty little girl from nowhere,
Nowhere at all,
In a house very small
Ten mile from a railway station,
No [?], no number, no sweethearts ever call,
She's a pretty little girl from nowhere,
Nowhere at all.
We are the boys that fears no foe,
When we are in danger,
We'll let you know before we go
That we are the Fetterangus Rangers.
