Not that you need it—as a moral lesson.”

JACK OF ALL TRADES

In all trades I’ve been a meddler,

Chorus. Foolin’ my life away:

I started life as a Yankee peddler,

Fiddlin’ and foolin’ away.

Didn’t find the trade encouragin’

So I turned a Dey Street New York surgeon.

Next I’d a shopman for employer,

And then a Philadelphia lawyer.
