'Nine old men on a White House chest,
Yo-ho-ho and q bottle Of rum!
Flicking bits of fiuff from their coat
and their vestsl
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
Their stroke is swift as a serpent's
strike.
For Reed was found on the Rockville
Pike,
And Cummings throat was marked
belize
1t had been gripped by fingers ten;
Yet there they sat, those nine old
men,
AS cool as Daniel in the lions den!
Yo-ho-ho and bottle Of rum!"
Further Cruising Urged.
Arthur Morgan of the T. v. A. spoke
up to assert that the Soviet of Cap
tains had been most good to him.
Urging patience cn the crew, he
suggested that perhaps with fresh
air and a little further cruising in
New Deal waters" the Soviet might be
inclined to give all "a clean bill Of
health and clearance papers"
Ickes. however, expressed his skep-
ticism by singing I've got my fingers
crossed" When he finished, John w.
Davis was found aboard the ship. He
confessed he was on private relief
and explained he stole aboard as
the representative of the Old Deal
Marine Insurance Brokers Association,
in order to see that Hopkins and
Ickes don't reduce this noble craft
to a total loss
Another stranger was found and
identified himself as a New York
banker on the A. A. A. relief rolls.
"a New York banker on agricultural
relief" gasped Ickes in surprise.
"Yet sir" asserted the banker. "You
see own some shares in Puerto Rican
sugar mill and I get paid one million
bucks per annum for not running it
at all. The joke is, never did! I
haven't done lick of work since 1884"
Wallace Holds Tongue.
He sang of his good fortune to the
tune Of mo More Sleep Today tell
ing his audience that Il get paid to
stop, whenever I start to grow a
crop" Hank Wallace refused to name
this banker, asserting that II do not
wish to expose him to exploitation
through the publication of his name" "
Wallace added that if there's gonna
be legali9ed steal, I want to be in
on it," He expressed himself as
tired Of nine-man Soviet runnin'
this ship" and suggested that at least
six of 'em be put overheard" The
crew agreed.
Hereafter Hopkins and Ickes and
I will run this relief ship" announced
Wallace.
Wont that be a soviet3" asked
one of the crew.
There's Republican on the relief
rolls" shouted Wallace. Throw him
OUT"
Wallace proposed "a cheer for the
New Deal C's the most wonderful C's
in all the world" and in a grand
finale, the entire crew sang:
I'VE joined the New Deal to see the
world
And what did we see? The c. C. c.
Right from the Pacific to the
Atlantic.
C's are gigantic. C's make us frantic,
We think the New Deal isn't what
It's cracked up to be-
fall
Is as nice as he can be,
But we never see the President,
Because the President goes out to fish
at sea.
We owe the New Deal, an awful lot,
There's the R. F. c., the S. e. C. and
D. C.
There's the N. E. c. to fix H. o. L. c.
There's more than that, that ends on
&C.
We never get seasick sailing the ocean,
We don't object to feeling the motion,
We're never seasick. but we are aw-
fully sick of C's."
