DRUNKARDS ODE
HOW WELL DO I REMEMBER,
'TWAS IN THE LATE NOVEMBER,
I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET QUITE FULL OF PRIDE,
MY HEART WAS ALL A-FLUTTER
AS I SLIPPED DOWN IN THE GUTTER,
AND A PIG CAME THERE AND LAID DOWN BY MY SIDE;
AND AS I LAY THERE IN THE GUTTER
ALL TOO SOUSED TO EVEN MUTTER,
A LADY PASSING BY WAS HEARD TO SAY:
ONE MAY TELL A BRUTE THAT BOOZES,
BY THE COMPANY HE CHOOSES.
HEARING THIS THE PIG GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY.

THE CAPTAIN VS. THE ADMIRAL
THE CAPTAIN HE RIDES IN A MOTORBOAT,
THE ADMIRAL HE RIDES IN A BARGE,
IT ISN'T A DAMN BIT FASTER, BIT FASTER,
BUT IT GIVES THE OLD BASTARD A CHARGE.
THE CAPTAIN HE SLEEPS IN A HAMMOCK,
THE ADMIRAL HE SLEEPS IN A BED.
IT ISN'T A DAMN BIT SOFTER, BIT SOFTER,
BUT IT'S TWENTY FEET NEARER THE HEAD.

SONG OF RELIGIOUS JEST
I DON'T WANT TO JOIN THE CONVENT, I DON'T WANT TO BE A NUN
FOR I AM A MEMBER OF THE KU KLUX KLAN, BROUGHT UP ON WHISKEY AND RUM
WITH A CIGARETTE YOU'LL FIND ME, AND A BOTTLE IN MY HAND.
OH I CAN'T STAND THAT SACRED SINGING, I CAN'T STAND THOSE
CHURCH BELLS RINGING
I DON'T WANT TO BE A NUN.
FOR I WANT TO GET MARRIED, I WANT TO BE A WIFE
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS DAMN SINGLE LIFE.
TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME; SHORT, SKINNY OR FAT,
I WANT TO GET TO MARRIED, AND THAT IS THAT.

BLESS ALL OF OUR TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES
WHO TALKED US ALL INTO BECOMING NUNS.
FOR WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THE CALL
WE'RE SAYING GOOD-BYE TO IT ALL
GOOD-BYE TO THE LIPSTICK AND ALL OF THE JOYS
GOOD-BYE TO THE SAILORS AND ALL OF THE BOYS.

FROM THE MIRROR LITTLE WILLIE
LICKED THE MERCURY RIGHT OFF,
THINKING IN HIS CHILDISH ERROR
IT WOULD CURE HIS WHOOPING COUGH.

LAUGHING SAID TO MRS. BROWN,
"TWAS A CHILLY DAY FOR WILLIE
WHEN THE MERCURY WENT DOWN."
"HA, HA, HA," SAID WILLIE'S MOTHER.
"TEE, HEE, HEE," SAID MRS. BROWN,

DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
A MOTHER WAS WEEPING AND WAILING
THE COURTROOM WAS FILLED WITH A CROWD
THE JUDGE SAYS WHY MADAME, WHAT'S AILING
AND THE POOR WOMAN SHOUTED OUT LOUD
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
DON,T TAKE MY BOY FROM ME
THOUGH FROM THE BANKS HE TOOK MONEY
HE JUST WANTED SAMPLES YOU SEE.
DON'T SEND MY BOY TO PRISON
DOWN WHERE THE GANGSTERS SWARM
THOUGH HE SET THE ORPHANAGE ON FIRE
HE JUST DID IT SO HE COULD BE WARM.
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
FOR NEVER MORE WILL HE ROAM
HE DIDN'T STEAL THAT CHICKEN
IT JUST FOLLOWED HIM HOME.
DON'T SEND MY BOY TO PRISON
WHERE ALL IS COLD AND NUMB
HE DIDN'T STEAL THAT PORK CHOP
THE PORK CHOP JUST STUCK TO HIS THUMB.
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
