Air — What has caused this agitation.

Oh what has caused all this Whig thunder, thunder, thunder,
That now is risin'?
The nomination by the Whigs
Of Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
Of Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
For with them we can beat any man, man, man,
Of the Polk and Dallas clan,
For with them we can beat any man.

The Locos now on every corner, corner, corner,
Are agonizin',
For all Creation's going they say
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
For with them we can beat any man, &c.

Loco-Polko stock is going down, down, down,
Whig stock is risin',
For "Old Virginia" goes it strong
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen, &c.

The Captain's office-holders think, think, think,
Of taking pison,
To save themselves from sure defeat
By Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen, &c.

A grand Whig army onward moves, moves, moves,
All ranks comprisin',
To place the wreath of laurels on
The brows of Clay and Frelinghuysen, &c.

Our Theodore will ne'er be guilty, guilty, guilty,
Of Tylerizin',
Then go it while you're young, my boys
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen, &c.

The beautiful girls, God's last best gift, gift, gift,
Above all prisin',
Will all to a man, do all they can
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
For Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen,
And with them we will beat the whole clan, clan, clan,
Of the Polk and Dallas clan,
With the ladies we'll beat any man.
