DOWN IN LEHIGH VALLEY II

The following parody on the pathetic recitation "Down
in Lehigh Valley" is perhaps better known in the jungles
than the original. The setting is in a small town public
privy.

Don't move over, stranger;
I won't-------on your seat
Nor-------on the coat that's on yer back
Nor the shoes that's on yer feet.

Down in the Lehigh Valley,
Me and my pal, Bill,
Pimped three years for a callhouse
And the work was all uphill.

We had a girl named Nellie,
And she was some high flyer;
She had Bright's disease
And you couldn't satisfy 'er.

Along come a guy from the city
Handsome and smooth and rich,
And he stole away our Nellie;
The blue-------son of a -------!

Now, God be with you, stranger,
And I'll be on my way,
I'll hunt the runt that stole my -------
If it takes till Judgment Day.

Hobo's Hornbook, pp 52-53
