| And asked them to make me take Dom Pedro | A |
| From the barn of Wash McNeely there at the edge of town | N |
| To a barn outside of the corporation | O |
| On the ground that it corrupted public morals | P |
| Well Ben Pantier and Fiddler Jones saved the day | Q |
| They thought it a slam on colts | R |
