A Scion Of The House Of High-Ball 1900

The question of pedigree sometimes arises
But mine has no shadow of doubt,
No, mine has no shadow of doubt.
My ancestors always took blue ribbon prizes,
and put all the rest down and out,
And put all the rest down and out.
When out on the links
I would fool them methinks,
and drive from the tee with a skyball,
Then sneak to the house
like an over fed mouse
and bury a good old Scotch HighBall.
Then sneak to the house
like an over fed mouse
and bury a good old Scotch HighBall,
and bury a good old Scotch HighBall.

I'm a scion of the House of HighBall,
My ancestors were Hot Scotch boys,
In my foot ball days a rusher
I was over fond of Usher
and King William added to my joys.
And I often used to sneak a slyball
in the foxy way the fox employs
But I learned to take them fewer
when I heard the House of Dewar
Was related to The House of HighBall.

I've tried ev'ry whiskey
that makes you feel frisky,
from barreled goods up to the notch.
from barreled goods up to the notch.
But ancestry proves
that proceeding is risky
and that's why I stick to my scotch,
and that's why I stick to my scotch.
At night in my room
from a picture in gloom
a vision appears to my eyeball,
my ancestors climb from their glit frames sublime
and beg for a Dewar's Scotch HighBall.
My ancestors climb
from their gilt frames sublime
and beg for a Dewar's Scotch HighBall,
and beg for a Dewar's Scotch HighBall.

I'm a scion of the House of HighBall,
My ancestors were Hot Scotch boys,
In my foot ball days a rusher
I was over fond of Usher
and King William added to my joys.
And I often used to sneak a slyball
in the foxy way the fox employs
But I learned to take them fewer
when I heard the House of Dewar
Was related to The House of HighBall.
