JOHN BARLEYCORN’S SWAN SONG

Good-bye Hunter, so «iong Scotch Farewell Haig and Haig. - Oh, my darling old FrappeU , They are taking you away/ > At the table d’hote with Lola They will serve you with Coca Cola; No More saying, “Let me buy,” No more coming through the . rye, Old Manhattan and Martini Will each get a big subpoena Every day*!! be Sunday— When the town goes dry! Oh, my little Sloe Gin fizz, You are going out of bizz; No more you’ll see those slackers Flirting with cheese and crackers, No more saying, “fill the pail” No more feet upon the rail; AU our little white light daughters Will be sipping Clysmic waters You can Bet that we will grieve, oh a When we have to gargle Bevo, Every day*ll be Sunday— > » When the town goes dry!
