Hi All,

I still sing it, just as I got it from Song Fest. I'm 56-years
old now. Glad to pass it on....

SISTER JENNY'S TURN TO THROW THE BOMB

In an anarchist's garret so lowly and so mean
Oh smell the pungent odor of nitroglycerin
They're busy making fuses
And filling cans with nails
While the little Slovic children
Set up this mournful wail....

(Chorus)
It's sister Jenny's turn to throw the bomb
The last one it was thrown by brother Thom
Poor Mama's aim is bad
And the kopskies all know Dad
So it's sister Jenny's turn to throw the bomb

Sister Jenny took the bomb and started off
"Oh, mind you now," said Mama "to blow up Templehoff"
And so the party waited
While morn turned into day
And the little Slovic children
Set up this mournful lay....

(Chorus)
It's brother Ivan's turn to throw the bomb
Sister Jenny's gone the way of brother Thom
Poor Mama's aim is bad
And the kopsikies all know Dad
So it's brother Ivan's turn to throw the bomb

....And a few of us added.....

Three cheers for cousin Jerry
He set fire to the Staten Island Ferry
Yes, it's brother Ivan's turn to throw the bomb

The line might have been
"And the cops they all know Dad"
.... time can change things.^^^

Thanks for this thread
Nice to know I'm not alone
If anybody has an extra copy of Song Fest
I'd love to buy it and work over some of
my old material...
