What a to do to die today,
at a minute or two to two;
a thing distinctly hard to say,
but harder still to do.
We'll beat a tattoo, at twenty to two
a rat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tattoo
and the dragon will come when he hears the drum
at a minute or two to two today, at a minute or two to two.
Edward German | 1902
