In Saginaw in Saginaw	A
The wind blows up your feet	B
When the ladies guild puts on a feed	C
There s beans on every plate	D
And if you eat more than you should	E
Destruction is complete	B
	-
	-
Out Hemlock Way there is a stream	F
That some have called Swan Creek	G
The turtles have bloodsucker sores	H
And mossy filthy feet	B
The bottoms of migrating ducks	I
Come off it much less neat	B
	-
	-
In Saginaw in Saginaw	A
Bartenders think no ill	J
But they ve ways of indicating when	K
You are not acting well	L
They throw you through the front plate glass	M
And then send you the bill	J
	-
	-
The Morleys and the Burrows are	N
The aristocracy	O
A likely thing for they re no worse	P
Than the likes of you or me	O
A picture window s one you can t	O
Raise up when you would pee	O
	-
	-
In Shaginaw in Shaginaw	K
I went to Shunday Shule	J
The only thing I ever learned	Q
Was called the Golden Rhule	J
But that s enough for any man	K
What s not a proper fool	J
	-
	-
I took the pledge cards on my bike	R
I helped out with the books	S
The stingy members when they signed	T
Made with their stingy looks	S
The largest contributions came	U
From the town s biggest crooks	S
	-
	-
In Saginaw in Saginaw	K
There s never a household fart	V
For if it did occur	W
It would blow the place apart	V
I met a woman who could break wind	T
And she is my sweet heart	V
	-
	-
O I m the genius of the world	X
Of that you can be sure	Y
But alas alack and me achin back	Z
I m often a drunken boor	Y
But when I die and that won t be soon	K
I ll sing with dear Tom Moore	Y
With that lovely man Tom Moore	Y
	-
Coda	A2
	-
	-
My father never used a stick	B2
He slapped me with his hand	C2
He was a Prussian through and through	D2
And knew how to command	C2
I ran behind him every day	E2
He walked our greenhouse land	C2
	-
	-
I saw a figure in a cloud	F2
A child upon her breast	G2
And it was O my mother O	H2
And she was half undressed	G2
All women O are beautiful	J
When they are half undressed	G2
