| I have gone by here before and wondered about it | B |
| This is a bronze memorial of a famous general | C |
| Riding horseback with a flag and a sword and a revolver | D |
| on him | E |
| I want to smash the whole thing into a pile of junk to be | F |
| hauled away to the scrap yard | G |
| I put it straight to you | H |

| Against the sky | M |
| Here in the park | N |
| And show the real huskies that are doing the work of | O |

| Then maybe I will stand here | Q |
| And look easy at this general of the army holding a flag | R |
| in the air | K |
| And riding like hell on horseback | S |
| Ready to kill anybody that gets in his way | T |
| Ready to run the red blood and slush the bowels of men | U |
| all over the sweet new grass of the prairie | F |
