This talk about the journalists that run the East is bosh	A
We've got a Western editor that's little but O gosh	A
He lives here in Mizzoora where the people are so set	B
In ante bellum notions that they vote for Jackson yet	B
But the paper he is running makes the rusty fossils swear	C
The smartest likeliest paper that is printed anywhere	C
And best of all the paragraphs are pointed as a tack	D
And that's because they emanate	E
From little Mack	D
	-
In architecture he is what you'd call a chunky man	F
As if he'd been constructed on the summer cottage plan	F
He has a nose like Bonaparte and round his mobile mouth	G
Lies all the sensuous languor of the children of the South	G
His dealings with reporters who affect a weekly bust	H
Have given to his violet eyes a shadow of distrust	H
In glorious abandon his brown hair wanders back	D
From the grand Websterian forehead	I
Of little Mack	D
	-
No matter what the item is if there's an item in it	J
You bet your life he's on to it and nips it in a minute	K
From multifarious nations countries monarchies and lands	L
From Afric's sunny fountains and India's coral strands	L
From Greenland's icy mountains and Siloam's shady rills	L
He gathers in his telegrams and Houser pays the bills	L
What though there be a dearth of news he has a happy knack	D
Of scraping up a lot of scoops	L
Does little Mack	D
	-
And learning Well he knows the folks of every tribe and age	M
That ever played a part upon this fleeting human stage	M
His intellectual system's so extensive and so greedy	N
That when it comes to records he's a walkin' cyclopedy	N
For having studied and digested all the books a goin'	O
It stands to reason he must know about all's worth a knowin'	O
So when a politician with a record's on the track	D
We're apt to hear some history	N
From little Mack	D
	-
And when a fellow journalist is broke and needs a twenty	N
Who's allus ready to whack up a portion of his plenty	N
Who's allus got a wallet that's as full of sordid gain	O
As his heart is full of kindness and his head is full of brain	O
Whose bowels of compassion will in va ri a bly move	P
Their owner to those courtesies which plainly surely prove	P
That he's the kind of person that never does go back	D
On a fellow that's in trouble	Q
Why little Mack	D
	-
I've heard 'em tell of Dana and of Bonner and of Reid	N
Of Johnnie Cockerill who I'll own is very smart indeed	N
Yet I don't care what their renown or influence may be	N
One metropolitan exchange is quite enough for me	N
So keep your Danas Bonners Reids your Cockerills and the rest	N
The woods is full of better men all through this woolly West	N
For all that sleek pretentious Eastern editorial pack	D
We wouldn't swap the shadow of	R
Our little Mack	D
