That Joe DGnielB will go cut.

And he never will be missed.

There's Mitchell Palmer. lawyer.
Who ran for President
And Newton Baker, soldier,
A most conscientious gent,
And also young Joe Tumulty.
And Colby and his crew,
Who run the State Department
In a way that makes me blue.
I've listed Davy Houston,
Our financial nov-el-ist,
They'd none Of them be missed,
They'd none of them be missed
:. eChorus)
He's got them on the list,
Hes got them on the list.
And they'll none Of 'em be missed.
They'll none OF 'em be missed.
u suppose that Skelton Williams
Will join the money trust,
I've got him on the list,
Pve got him on the list.
The banks will howl like fury,
Like as not a few will bust.
But he never will be missed
He never will be missed.
There's Barton Payne, the fellow
Who bosses all the west.
And Albert Sidney Burleson.
Who's worst than all the rest.
And I'll surely get John Davis.
Wh0s far across the sea.
And Mr.. Hughey Wallace,
Who lives In gay Par-ee.
And Hramer prohibition chief
On this I win insist,
They,d none Of them be missed,
They'd none Of them be missed
