Text: Dismal, doleful, in thy tears-- / You have not smiled for twenty years, / Except when gin bars were in sight, / And
then you smiled both day and night! / Your face reminds one of a lizard-- / Your heart—you only have a gizzard-- / And as
for ears, mankind can see / A donkey’s ears were put on thee! / To show you up, we’ll get some hay, / And let the neighbors
hear you bray!
