Sence Bill Tafts cum to Washington
De Possum's all the rage
It's served in all de restaurants
an' all de bes' cafés.
Dat luscious bit o' temptin' meat
you're sure to find a treat
an' it's now de swellest morsel
for most any one to eat.

Oh it's Possum, Possum,
Possum
with sweet potaters on de side,
Just ask dis coon
an see how soon
he'll tell you dat's his size.
Da never was a minit
any other food was in it
for de Juicy, Juicy Possum
takes de prize.

Oh it's Possum, Possum,
Possum
with sweet potaters on de side,
Just ask dis coon
an see how soon
he'll tell you dat's his size.
Da never was a minit
any other food was in it
for de Juicy, Juicy Possum
takes de prize.

Ole Teddy Bar's a dead one now
sence Bill Possum's come to town
An' it taint no use to make excuse
or raise a fuss an' frown.
Jes get in touch wit' de President
eat Possum when you dine,
Den ask a job of de Government
an' you'll cert'nly be in line.

Oh it's Possum, Possum,
Possum
with sweet potaters on de side,
Just ask dis coon
an see how soon
he'll tell you dat's his size.
Da never was a minit
any other food was in it
for de Juicy, Juicy Possum
takes de prize.

Oh it's Possum, Possum,
Possum
with sweet potaters on de side,
Just ask dis coon
an see how soon
he'll tell you dat's his size.
Da never was a minit
any other food was in it
for de Juicy, Juicy Possum
takes de prize.
