Well, I should say. Friends, lemme tell you what I mean. Ya got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the diffe’ence Between a gentlemen and a bum, With a capital “B,” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for pool! And all week long your River City youth’ll be fritter’n away, I say your young men’ll be fritter’n! Fritter’n away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too! Get the ball in the pocket, Never mind gittin’ Dandelions pulled Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded. Never mind pumpin’ any water ‘Til your parents are caught with the Cistern empty On a Saturday night and that’s trouble, Oh, yes we got lots and lots a’ trouble. I’m thinkin’ of the kids in the knickerbockers, Shirt-tail young ones, peekin’ in the pool Hall window after school, look, folks! Right here in River City. Trouble with a capital “T” And that rhymes with “P” And that stands for pool! ---

Seventy six trombones led the big parade With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand. They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos, the cream of ev’ry famous band. Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun, With a hundred and ten cornets right behind. There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds, there were horns of ev’ry shape and kind. ---

Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay, Rolled off of their ship and here’s what they had to say. “We’re calling everyone to ride along to another shore, Where we can laugh our lives away and be free once more.” ---

I only hope that someday You’d get them low down blues In some smoky honky tonk You looked down at your shoes You’ll think about that tender heart That you crushed beneath them soles With your clod bustin’ stompers You left my heart all full of holes You dun stomped on my heart And you mashed that sucker flat Honey, you just sorta stomped on my aorta You started going out with guys I felt us drift apart And every step you took Was a stomp upon my heart ---

Now her daddy’s getting old And he seemed to lose control When the brontosaurus Stormed into the house to trap her. Well her sister used to hate it So I never thought she’d make it.
