Three Old Sports From Oklahoma - 1894

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 Dec 2001

Three old sports from Oklahoma,
Bunko Bill and Reuben the Jonah,
Red haired Mike who lives in Tacoma,
looking for trouble, Whoop, Hooray.
We're stronger than Sampson.
One day in November,
we held up a train of cars,
engine and tender,
the brakes were all broke,
and as we remember,
we took up a collection, Whoop, Hooray.

Three old sports from Oklahoma,
Bunko Bill and Reuben the Jonah,
Red haired Mike who lives in Tacoma,
out for the long green Whoop, Hooray.

Dree old Hebrews from Jerusalem,
Moses, Isaac, and also Methusalem,
Hosdagazonda Alamagoozalem
Hosdagaringtygavinklygazay.
A vonlegged man,
he came in de store shopping
for vonlegged pants
my vife Rachal was chopping,
the leg of a pair I felt just like dropping,
she cut off de wrong leg Whoop Hooray.

Dree old Hebrews from Jerusalem,
Moses, Isaac, and also Methusalem,
Hosdagazonda Alamagoozalem
Hosdagaringtygavinklygazay.

Three old sports who know our bizziz-ziz,
Been through the mill
and we know what it tizzizziz,
Stand at the bar and
drink our Ginfizz-ziz-ziz,
Manhattan cocktail sports are we.

We tackled saloons till we caused a disaster,
we drank the booze fast
and we ordered it faster,
stood off the bartender for seven piustres,
because we were loaded,
he thought we were drunk.

Three old sports, now isn't it funny?
Living in Jersey on locusts and honey,
whenever we're broke we carry no money,
regular Hoboken sports are we.

Three old sports from old Kentucky,
we're known to the maidens
as deary and duckey,
we sue the girls first
that's where we're lucky,
BreckenridgePollard sports are we.

We give them no chance
in the wide world to do us,
we first sue the maidens
just so they can't sue us,
the minute they get us
they try to go through us,
but if they don't suit us
how can they bring suit?

Three old sports
from Congress quite evident,
when she's in session
we're Washington residents,
shake ev'ry morning
with Grover the President,
regular cuckoo sports are we.
