  He was quite a famous statesman From a district where the folk Were so honest that their honor Had become a standing joke; But this man that represented Such a people, such a craft, Always shouted for "retrenchment," While he always voted "graft." He was quite a famous "poser," And he had the nimble art Of deluding men to thinking That he owned an honest heart; He was always hinting "boodle," At which hints the lobby laughed For they knew he talked "retrenchment," But he always voted "graft!" |
