  I'm a Legislative Pass: I'm a wonder now displayed In a large and growing class Marching out on dress parade; I am issued "on request" From a statesman full of might, And I'll never know a rest Till adjournment is in sight. I'm a Legislative Pass: I am given free as air, And I reach from shortest grass To the farthest every where; I am happy in the fame That around me fondly flits, Just to keep the statesmen tame Till the Legislature quits. I'm a Legislative Pass: I have wondrous work to do, And I use the mighty mass Of my glories daily, too; I'm considered pretty nice By the hundreds of my friends, That I carry without price Till the Legislature ends. I'm a Legislative Pass: I'm the master of the state, While the people think, alas! They are something wise and great; As I summon dear delight Down the legislative way Till adjournment is in sight. I'm a Legislative Pass: Fly with me,—there's no expense,— From the weary ways of gas And the halls of eloquence; Let us travel far and fast! Soon we'll journey nevermore! For I know my day is past When the Legislature's o'er! |
