And when you recommend the pledge, will patch up some excuse, John.
Many drink because they’re cold,
And some because they’re hot, John
Many drink because they’re old,
And some because they’re not, John;
Many drink because they’re thin,
And some because they’re stout, John;
Many drink because they’re in,
And some because they’re out, John.
“Nay,” John. “Nay,” John, whatever they may say, John.
