"His Job Is Selling Fruit"

Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

His job is selling fruit
During daytime.

A cravat complements his suit. . .
Used for tyin’
Gals’ windpipes. . .dyin’.

So his haberdasher
Keeps rakin’ in pounds.
He can’t keep neck sashes
’cause his cravats on gals’ napes are found.

When he’s not selling fruit,
Then his pastime’s
Lass[o] time.

His pursuit,
Beyond fruit,
Is to mute
And make moot
Girls who’d shout.

But he’s found there…
Haberdashery
Is in a rout:
He’s tie-free!

So he who sells the fruit
Now will do time.
