A Response to Judge Mulligan's Famous ToastA
-
-
The moonlight may be softestB
In KentuckyC
And summer days come oftestB
In KentuckyC
But friendship is the strongestB
When the money lasts the longestB
Or you sometimes get in wrongestB
In KentuckyC
-
Sunshine is the brightestB
In KentuckyC
And a right is often rightestB
In KentuckyC
While plain girls are the fewestB
They work their eyes the truestB
They leave a fellow bluestB
In KentuckyC
-
All debts are treated lightestB
In KentuckyC
So make your home the brightestB
In KentuckyC
If you have the social entreeD
You need never think of payD
Or at least that's what they sayD
In KentuckyC
-
Orators are the proudestB
In KentuckyC
And they always talk the loudestB
In KentuckyC
While boys may be the fliestB
Their money is the shyestB
They carry bluffs the highestB
In KentuckyC
-
Pedigrees are longestB
In KentuckyC
Family trees the strongestB
In KentuckyC
For blue blood is a prideB
But if you've ever triedB
You'll find 'sporting blood' insideB
In KentuckyC
-
Society is exclusiveE
In KentuckyC
So do not be intrusiveE
In KentuckyC
If you want the right of wayD
And have the coin to payD
You'll be in the swim to stayD
In KentuckyC
-
The race track's all the moneyC
In KentuckyC
But don't you go there sonnyC
In KentuckyC
For while thoroughbreds are fleetestD
They get your coin the neatestD
And leave you looking seediestD
In KentuckyC
-
Short skates are the thickestD
In KentuckyC
They spot a sucker quickestD
In KentuckyC
They'll set up to a drinkF
Get your money 'fore you thinkF
And you get the dinky dinkF
In KentuckyC
-
If you want to be fraternalG
In KentuckyC
Just call a fellow ColonelG
In KentuckyC
Or give a man a nudgeH
And say How are you JudgeH
For they never call that fudgeH
In KentuckyC
-
But when you have tough luckI
In KentuckyC
In other words get stuckI
In KentuckyC
Just raise your voice and hollerJ
And you'll always raise a dollarJ
While a drink is sure to followK
In KentuckyC
-
'Tis true that birds sing sweetestD
In KentuckyC
That women folk are neatestD
In KentuckyC
But there are things you shouldn't tellL
About our grand old State and wellL
Politics is h lL
In KentuckyC
