The Superintendent of an Almshouse A Pauper	A
	-
SUPERINTENDENT	B
	-
So you're unthankful you'll not eat the bird	C
You sit about the place all day and gird	C
I understand you'll not attend the ball	D
That's to be given to night in Pauper Hall	D
	-
PAUPER	A
	-
Why that is true precisely as you've heard	C
I have no teeth and I will eat no bird	C
	-
SUPERINTENDENT	B
	-
Ah see how good is Providence Because	E
Of teeth He has denuded both your jaws	E
The fowl's made tender you can overcome it	F
By suction or at least well you can gum it	F
Attesting thus the dictum of the preachers	G
That Providence is good to all His creatures	G
Turkeys excepted Come ungrateful friend	H
If our Thanksgiving dinner you'll attend	H
You shall say grace ask God to bless at least	I
The soft and liquid portions of the feast	I
	-
PAUPER	A
	-
Without those teeth my speech is rather thick	J
He'll hardly understand Gum Arabic	J
No I'll not dine to day As to the ball	D
'Tis known to you that I've no legs at all	D
I had the gout hereditary so	K
As it could not be cornered in my toe	K
They cut my legs off in the fond belief	L
That shortening me would make my anguish brief	L
Lacking my legs I could not prosecute	M
With any good advantage a pursuit	M
And so because my father chose to court	N
Heaven's favor with his ortolans and Port	N
Thanksgiving every day the Lord supplied	O
Saws for my legs an almshouse for my pride	O
And once a year a bird for my inside	O
No I'll not dance my light fantastic toe	K
Took to its heels some twenty years ago	K
Some small repairs would be required for putting	P
My feelings on a saltatory footing	P
	-
Sings	Q
	-
O the legless man's an unhappy chap	R
Tum hi tum hi tum he o'haddy	K
The favors o' fortune fall not in his lap	R
Tum hi tum heedle do hum	S
The plums of office avoid his plate	K
No matter how much he may stump the State	K
Tum hi ho heeee	T
The grass grows never beneath his feet	K
But he cannot hope to make both ends meet	K
Tum hi	T
With a gleeless eye and a somber heart	K
He plays the role of his mortal part	K
Wholly himself he can never be	U
O a soleless corporation is he	U
Tum	S
	-
SUPERINTENDENT	K
	-
The chapel bell is calling thankless friend	K
Balls you may not but church you shall attend	K
Some recognition cannot be denied	K
To the great mercy that has turned aside	K
The sword of death from us and let it fall	D
Upon the people's necks in Montreal	D
That spared our city steeple roof and dome	S
And drowned the Texans out of house and home	S
Blessed all our continent with peace to flood	K
The Balkan with a cataclysm of blood	K
Compared with blessings of so high degree	U
Your private woes look mighty small to me	U
