As sang by Mr. HYATT, in '* Amateurs and Actoii,^* at the
Bowery Theatre.
One moming, whUst I was brewing.
My thoughts each thought pursuing.
First malt and hops, next Molly Popps,
Thinks I, I'll go a wooing.
Oh, yes, I will, indeed I will, tol de rol, &c.
Chance, in my brew-*house, brought her.
" Dame Popps, I love your daughter.
And feel inclin'd to teU my mind.
And cut my longjng shorter."
Oh, yes, I do, indeed I do, tol de rol, &c
My Molly dear, now came in,
Whilst love my heart inflaming;
Her mother said, " the lad's afraid.
His passion you'U be blaming."
Oh, yes. he is, he really is, tol de rol, &c
Cried Moll, *' you stupid, rash cub.
Think I'd marry such a scrub ?
Your hopes desist," so with her fist.
She sous'd me in the mash tub !
Oh, yes, she did, she really did, tol de rol, Ac

Attention pray give, while of hobbies I sing.
For ea^jh has his hobby, fronijcobbler to king;
On some favourite hobby we 4U get astride,
And when we're once mounted, full gaUop we ride.
All on hobbies, all on hobbies,
AU on hobbies, gee up and gee O.
