WORDS FROM CACTUS CENTER.

If Cactus Town was Washington, and
Washington was us
We'd try to run the ship of state
without too burned much fuss;
We'd shake dice Ger the tariff bill,
and when the thing was done
There couldn't no insurgin gents
muss up the country's fun.
And when two statesmen come to
words like Ballinger and Gift,
We'd turn 'em loose with two six six
guns, to end it in jiff;
There wouldn't be no costly trials to
keep things in muss,
If Cactus Town was Washington and
Washington was US.
And if the president d like to travel
round a bit,
And see the people of this land, we
wouldn't throw a fit;
But you kin bet we'd fork the dough
to pay his trav'lin fare,
Instid of chainin' him for four years
to desk and swivel chair.
And when some sharper horned his
way into the congress herd,
Someone whose record was as foul as
any carrion bird,
We'd say, a-holdin' up the shrimp.
Take back this crooked cuss.'
If Cactus Town was Washington and
Washington was us.
