A fisherman, angling for trout

-“BB”-

A fisherman, angling for trout
Flicked his rod and played his line out

A fisherman, angling for trout
Flicked his rod and played his line out

A fisherman, angling for trout
Flicked his rod and played his line out
Then from out of the depths

A fisherman, angling for trout
Flicked his rod and played his line out
Then from out of the depths
‘It’ came within a hairsbreadth

My mate cried “just one?!”

My flight doesn’t leave for an hour
There’s just time for one more whiskey sour
My mate cried “just one?!”
“Well, that’s just no fun”

[May I offer a closer?]

My flight doesn’t leave for an hour
There’s just time for one more whiskey sour
My mate cried “just one?!”
“Well, that’s just no fun”
Came a voice from the flight control tower.

Corporal Clancy McNabb was court martialled

Corporal Clancy McNabb was court martialled
By a judge who was hardly impartial

Corporal Clancy McNabb was court martialled
By a judge who was hardly impartial
For the judge was his mother

Corporal Clancy McNabb was court martialed (… a little clean-up work… only one ‘L’ in ‘martialed’)
By a judge who was hardly impartial.
For the judge was his mother,
Who’d always favored his brother,
