When You Get There
Blow! Blow! Blow!
with apologies to "Tlpperarun


It's short way to MorrisvilIe, it's a short
It's a short way to MorrisvilIe, where they
want noise, you know.
Oood bye, old Hyde Park, farewell Battle
Row,
It's short way to Morrisvile, when you,
get there blow blow blow!
May every. mule that draws load
Have voice that's strong and good
And never allow it to be still
When passing through Morrisville.
May all the jackasses in the State
Bray both early and late,
DO it often and 18th goodwill
When passing through Morrisville
May every crow that flies the air
Take time and make passage there
And cav, and cav. ana the air fill
With cav and cav when passing through
Morrisville!
May the evil spirits of the night
Gather there and take delight
In making sounds that sleep dispeIs
And hnger round old M orrisvlle!
May the clarion notes of untuned horns
May the drunken orgies of bar1eycorns
May all the boys and girls unite their trilIs
And make it hideous for NJ orrisvi1le
Let the great white owl. with big white face,
Hover there and himself disgrace
And with voice OH oh! oh! the air fill
And leave it all TO Morrisville
Let the clarion notes of the sax-horn
Continually blow from the day it's born
Until 1t weakens. and then not be still
All for the benefit of M orrisville
May the good pastor when he prays
Ask the Lord to lengthen the length of DAYS
OF all who are disposed with voice or quill
To do up the disgrace of Morrisville
May the voices of those that were once so
sweet
Be attuned to words that are not discreet
And with the sounds of Jack and Gill
In a minor key sing Morrisville, M orrisvilleI
Nav every froo and war+y to.d
Attune their voices fit for a flood,
And make their home and sing their fill,
And never desert poor Morrsvie!
May everything that's bug-house,
From human being to biting louise,
Bite, frighten. terrorize, with unchecked will.
Those people who did up Morrisville!
May the ug1iest females dance and prancc
Every time they get chance,
And in unbecoming costume do vaudeville
When passing the streets of M orrisvi1le
Let Ford, Maxwell, Buick Cadillac, and
every car,
Be they near or from afar,
Blow their horns. or get out five dollnr bill
For the authorities that did up M orrisville,
May every COW that carries tall
Spill her milk and kick over the pail
So that the cuds will have nothing but swi1I
Who want such hi of noise in Norris
vile
May areoplane soar with delight
And m AXE. hdeous both day and night
AS they circle and soar over Morris vlle
May Gabriel when he comes to call
Those who survive poor Adams fall,
Have calathumpian band with its musical
drill
To cali the leg puers of Morrisvilei
Now if you haven't car with a terrible
sound
Don't go through the city. but go around,
For when you get there, if you keep STILL
1t will cost you four-fitty at NJ orrisvilel
May all the horns of Jericho
Keep up be noise and never cease to blow
Until al. the walls shall fall down
That protect and guard old Morristown
May their tastes be perverted
Until all they eat be converted
To scurvey Gale or garlic swi1
The future food for NJ orrsville
May their pigs in their pens
Unite with ducks and guinea-hens,
Caekle, quack, squea1 and never be still,
But keep making noise for Morrisville
When they have noise to their hearts delight
And can't rest daytimes or sleep nights
M ay they send back my four-hfty. seven
And let there be quiet on earth and peace in
Heaven!
It's short wayto Morrisville, it's short
way to go;
It's short way to Morrisville. where thew
want a noise, you know.
Goodbye, old Hyde Park, farewell Battle
Row,
It's a short way to Morrisve, when you
get there blow blow blow!
