Eyeryone's congratulating
Kids with heads up in the clouds
For they are a graduating
Wearing mortar boards and
shrouds.
But the kids we should not censor
For their way is hard and rough I;
They must needs be dumb or
denser.
To take in commencement gun.
Every man with one clean collar
Who has ever spoken twice
Tries TO turn an honest dollar
Giving graduates advice.
Then there's weddings by the
dozen:
Every week IT'S getting worse;
Friends and nephews, nieces,
cousins
Levy tribute on the purse.
There were many people laying
Dead from earthquake in Peru:
General Johnson has been saving
War scare's used for ballyhoo.
And he's also bluntly blurtin',
r. r. works for Third Term go:
The last seven years. he's certain
Are this Country's all time low.
We've been thinking propaganda
Was European stun;
Now we find some's made here
and
Whole lot moren what's enough.
There's no rhyme nor. much less
reason
To some statements being made,
But, don't criticize; It's treason:
Big broad plans are being laid.
BY the master minds so. heed era
Tho the plans are vague. unknown
Call Industry's leaders. feed 'em,
rake some pictures, send EN- home
Make statement: spend million
Spreading both quite far and wide
Make two statements; spend 3
billion:
Some day it's one way ride"
Iindy talks and doesn't stutter;
Says 20 keep our powder dry,
Build defenses. but it's utter
Foolishness, this hue and cry.
We may some day take n licking,
But we won't be scared 20 death
SO were still alive and kicking.
And well yell to our last breath.
