Pay no mind to the ju-ju men,
Skip all buts for the where and when,
Drink no beer from a tappit-hen,
And set your sails for the West.

Play no cards with a man called Doc,
Never run with a pack or flock,
Cherish women, brand all stock,
Keep your fears to your breast.

Spare no thought for the old wise owl,
Be you deaf to a jackal’s growl,
Just get it done and let them howl,
And the devil take the rest.
