Jupiter Forbid 1942 "By Jupiter"

You ought to be proud
tickled to death
got get a breath
of this good atmosphere,
You're one of a crowd,
all on parade
all unafraid and no one that must fear,
just look around
and you'll kiss your native ground.

Maybe there's a place where people never laugh,
maybe there's a place where kids don't kid,
maybe there's a place for just the upper half
not here
Jupiter forbid.

Maybe there's a place where people never sing
where you have to hide each thing you did,
where they have a sign
"Keep off the Grass" in spring,
not here
Jupiter forbid.

Here we dance if we see fit,
when he and she fit,
it's fun.
Bright and light as a dancer,
for we must answer to none.
Maybe there's a place where you're afraid to kiss,
you could only do it if you hid,
that will never happen in a place like this,
not here,
Jupiter forbid.
