The Fine Old Fossil Bachelor.

I'll sing you fine old ballad, made by fine old pate
or fine old fossil bachelOr-the doughface candidate,
Who in the White House wished to dwellbut he had
mate,
The people hot for the mansion too grea.
For tie fine old fossil, bachelor,
VINO vas lat up too tate.
This fae OLE fossil bachelor 70 anything would swear,
And The party told him ,wod that round square,
And to his principles was false and changef4 the air,
But faithful to ambition for the Presidential chair,
Like a fine old fossil bachelor,
Who NEVER COULD get there.
For while the fossil bachelor abode meath other Skies
The vandals of his clique down a solemn compromise
And built sructureback and foul in all the peoples eyes,
And placed platform its top that made up lies
Where the fine old fossil bachelor
Might stand and show his size.
And the fine old fossil bachelor the platform led
And then they placed the party just underneath his
head,
But the platform was gaows-drop yielded to his tread
And, kicking OIL his boots, he hung-poiticaly dead!
That fine old fossil bachelor,
From the platform stained biood-red
