To be found about the place
They re a jolly lot Of people
All the way from a to Il;
That's why the city of Mobridge
Is the only place for me.
Sometimes I'm feeling Jolly,
At other times Pm sad,
You may think that this is folly
But at times can't be glad.
Sometimes feel rather glum,
The opposite of gay,
But the Mobridge bridge at Mobridge
Drives my troubles all away.
