Dinah, Won't You Blow Your Horn
Happy, happy happy, singing songs of praise
Working, working working, all the live long days
An idiot's song. Blinding all, luring them
A brief amount of destiny and all for toilet paper invested
Toiling at the Devil's gate
For cheap commerce and some merchandise
Bring us your poor and weak and weary
And we'll put them to life in the five and dime
