“September Eve”
We’ve had “New Deals” and “Fair
Deals,” Bujt the Fairest Deal of all 1 Started on this September Eve Under a monument, grave-and tall.
This shaft stands on the Court*
house Green Of A dear old country town; * It’s in memory of our heroes * ’ And a gentleman of renown.
You ask us what this Deal can
mean And for whom ihis shaft can be? It's in memory of our men in
Gray And their leader, R. E. Lee.
What is signified by this event That we hail as the best of luck? It’s the seating of a 'lady mayor And the Passing of the Buck.
Let’s pray these clean-up measures Which we all expect to see Started in Little Washington Beach Washington, D. C.
That town sure needs a cleaning, From the Pentagon to Congress’
floor, And a mandate to most of the
inmates To go forth and iwaste no more.
What would George Washington
think If he looked, down from on high And saw this great Democracy Now a socialistic pie?
Wouldn’t Martha with her mop
and broom, Hot water and caustic lyeMake soon the halls of Congress
clean? Make trash and feathers fly!
And if she found some feathers
red Wouldn’t she send George for his
axe To use on those who feather bed And also those who tax?
Say, George, you chopped a* cherry
tree And would not tell a fib, Get busy on this Upas tree And hew and chop, ad lib.
