Thread Name: Info: In an anarchist garrett
Subject: Lyr Req: In an anarchist garrett
I'm looking for the lyrics to a comic "folk song" we used to sing in college in the late 1950s. This is what I know:

In an anarchistic garrett,
So lowly and so mean
Oh smell the pungent odor
of nitroglycerine.

blah blah blah

CHORUS:

Oh it's Uncle Ivanovich's turn to throw the bomb.
The last one it was thrown by Cousin Tom.
______'s aim was bad and and the copskys they got Dad.
Oh it's Uncle Ivanovich's turn to throw the bomb.

It goes on with names of various family members who are equally inept at "throwing the bomb". The tune is a somber fake Russian melody.

Any geezers out there?
