SHOW TUNES
Why sure I'm
a billiard player.
Certainly mighty proud I say,
I'm always mighty
proud to say it.
I consider that the hours
I spend with a cue
in my hand are golden.
Help you cultivate
horse sense
and a cool head
and a keen eye.
J'ever take and try to find
an iron-clad leave
for yourself from
a three-rail billiard shot?
But just as I say it takes
judgment, brains,
and maturity
to score in a balkline game,
I say that any boob can take
and shove a ball in a pocket.
And I call that sloth.
The first big step on the road
to the depths of degrada-
I say, first, medicinal wine
from a teaspoon.
Then beer from a bottle!
