At The Prohibition Ball 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 Sep 2004

There will be, there will be,
quite a national affair;
wait and see, wait and see,
everybody will be there!
All the folks will come from every state,
everywhere they'll congregate,
it will be the night before
The Prohibition Law!

We'll be at The Prohibition Ball,
there'll we'll mix with Mr. Alcohol,
Folks will pay their last respects
to Highballs and to Horse's Necks;
the Gin we got from The Land of Cotton,
will be gone but not forgotten,
then we'll say farewell to old Champagne,
we may never taste a drop again;
It's gonna take till early morn
to say goodbye to Barleycorn,
we'll celebrate at The Prohibition Ball!

You'll be there, you'll be there,
don't you overlook the date;
and prepare, and prepare
to be there to celebrate!
Eat a lot of fish, I'll tell you why,
that's the time you should feel dry,
you know it's the night before
The Prohibition Law!
