How dared you get rich—you great stupid!—
Like papa, and some men that I know
Now I know why they call this "The Lily;"
Why the man who shot Sandy McGee
You made mayor! 'Twas because—oh, you silly!—
He once "went down the middle" with me!
I've been fooled to the top of my bent here,
So come, and ask pardon—you know
That you've still got to get my consent, dear!
And just think what that echo said—Joe!
The man who shot Sandy McGee
You made mayor!
