If you got a big mouth
And live up north, head south:
Pomain.[1]
If you’re a feckless clown,
Then please, come on down:
Pomain.
It’s all blight
Day and night,
It’s all blight:
Pomain.
If you got loose screws,
Join Congressional crews—
Pomain.
South of M.-Dixon,
Come to land of Nixon:
Pomain.
It ain’t right
Day or night,
It’s all blight:
Pomain.
If you’re a slick con,
Come on, get your shtik on—
Pomain.
Watch for those like Jack[2]
Who fill your dough sack
O[r] pain.
It ain’t right,
Too big bite,
Go you might. . .
Pomain[3]
Out the light,
Sphincter tight,
Con delight:
Pomain.[4]
