Bbout a month ago some greatly agtated
men
Did swear they would enforce the Sun
day law
A committee they did quickly form of
twenty five and then
Declared that they were ready quite for
They notified each keeper of a nasty vile
saloon
That if he didn't want loyal fight,
He'd have to keep within the law on Sun
day afternoon,
And close his place of business up
tight.

But they got it where the chicken got

The saloon man thought as he was pay

For each day within the year he'd stay
open. that was clear,
So they got it where the chicken got the
axe
Then in the Legislature, at the Capitol,
they told
A sad, and very fearful tale of woe,
And begged the members to enforce this
law so very old
And see that we to church were made to

One member there, one little one. got up

Our Representative informed them why

And truthfully denounced it on the floor.

Mr.. SIayden told the members there
some facts.
And the mighty twenty five were content
TO be alive
When they got il where the chicken got

Now wonder If these people think that
they are doing well?
they really think that they will soon
succeed?
If they wouldn't like to tell us what we
ought to buy or sell,
And the style of summer underwear we
need?
Perhaps they know exactly what we real
ly ought to eat
And can tell us what to wear upon our
backs
But unless they let us all alone, some day
upon the street
They will get it where the chicken got
