lyrics

The Temperance Union is fighting dissipation with a lecture on the evils of excessive moderation The preacher earns his liquor with a counterfeit bible staring down the devil with an elongated eyeball The future of the nation is hanging by a kitestring spare the rod and you spoil the lightning Too poor to pay a visit too proud to beg to differ crouching in the thicket with a flapper and a sniffer, The abortionist’s mistress sits listless in the mattress tatting on a pattern for a little kitty-cat dress The virgins of the brothel are worth their weight in diamonds the surgeon’s at their service with formaldehyded hymens The syphilitic wet nurse gets a little luncheon sending eggy soldiers to a pestilential dungeon, My new position isn’t a stoke of luck exactly I operate the chopper at the rabbit’s foot factory Old mustardgas Cupid puts nurses by the sickbeds but the shell-shocked soldiers can’t get it through their thick heads And all around the fringes and the outskirts and the borders the rascals have the dollars and the servants have the quarters
