We ain't done yet. 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
