In the 1930s my parents had a record of "Where Do You Work a-John?" which had the intro "A long time ago ...", the choruses about the Delaware Lackawan' and Telephone Company, and also
this chorus making fun of Roosevelt's WPA:

Where do you work a-Jay?
On the double-a-u p-a
What do you do a-Jay?
I joost, I joost I joost.
What do you joost, a-Jay?
I joost-a collect-a my pay!
Where do you joost a-jay?
On --- the double-a-u p-a,p-a, p-a, p-a,
The double-a-u p-a!

Republicans disliked the WPA, claiming workers were being paid for not working.
