"Master Chairman and friends, I must say I`m glad

To meet with you tonight, though I`m only a lad

The benefits derived from this Tea Meeting they say

Will go towards building a new chapel and school some future day

I`m only a lad but I can have a small share

For I can help forward this work with my pennies and prayer

The little girls and boys are saving up their pennies, I hear

And they`ll have a big share in the new chapel, No Fear!

Our teachers learn us beautiful hymns and nice prayers

But I`m sorry to tell you they put us upstairs

But if they get plenty of money to build a new chapel you know

They`ll have rooms for little girls and boys down below"
