Declares that his strengths on the
wane;
Denounces the grape juice of Bryan;
Insists that it's not even sane:
He dreams all his friends back in of
flee,
And all of his enemies out.
As he dimes on a morsel OF monkey.
And sails up the River of Doubt.
He revises the Ten COMMANDMENTS.
And brings them all quite up to
date;
Bewails the mistakes OF Old Moses,
And sighs at poor Lincoln's slow
gait;
While washington's laundering tao
tics
produce a most terrible pout.
As he swallows a wee bit Of monkey
And sails up the River Of Doubt
In dreams he's enraptured the people.
And all of creation subdued;
To the furthermost side Of this plan
There's against him not even a
feud:
/ While the worlds population will
honor,
And angels will bow round about.

And sails up the River OF Doubt
