Some ten or twenty times a day, To bustle to the town with speed, To dabble in what dirt he may, - Le Frere Lubin's the man you need! But any sober life to lead Upon an exemplary plan, Requires a Christian indeed, - Le Frere Lubin is NOT the man!Another's wealth on his to lay, With all the craft of guile and greed, To leave you bare of pence or pay, - Le Frere Lubin's the man you need! But watch him with the closest heed, And dun him with what force you can, - He'll not refund, howe'er you plead, - Le Frere Lubin is NOT the man!
An honest girl to lead astray, With subtle saw and promised meed, Requires no cunning crone and grey, - Le Frere Lubin's the man you need! He preaches an ascetic creed, But,--try him with the water can - A dog will drink, whate'er his breed, - Le Frere Lubin is NOT the man!

In good to fail, in ill succeed, Le Frere Lubin's the man you need! In honest works to lead the van, Le Frere Lubin is NOT the man!
