Some of the words:

You may talk about your sailors, ballad singers, and the rest,

Your shoemakers and tailors that can please the ladies best,

But the only ones who know the way their pretty hearts to melt

Are the lads around the boiler making the hot asphalt!

We laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flat,

If it doesn't last for ever then I swear I'll eat me hat.

I've travelled up and down the world but sure I've never felt

Any surface that's the equal to the hot asphalt!
