The Dummy Line Song

This is a 99 year old folk song from Metuchen, New Jersey; it pokes fun at intelligence and beauty. A dummy line is a tiny train on a short track for unintelligent and hideous-looking people; this cautionary song teaches the moral, "Pretty is as pretty does!"
== Lyrics ==
* CHORUS: On the dummy line, on the dummy line,
* Rain or shine, I’ll pay my fine;
* Rain or shine, I’ll pay my fine,
* Riding, riding, riding on the dummy line.
* VERSE 1: There was a girl from down Mobile;
* She had a face like a lemon peel.
* She had a wart on the end of her chin;
* She calls it a dimple, but a simple turns in.
* (CHORUS)
* VERSE 2: There was a man named Harold Breene;
* He had a face that was mint green.
* He went to Doc Peck and then Doc Peck said,
* ”With a face like that, I’d rather be dead!”
* (CHORUS)
