"Though the Man’s Well-to-Do"
Parody Written by:
John A. Barry
The Lyrics
Though the man’s well-to-do,
He once did time.
They put him with a convict crew
That’s speaking Strine.*
Before that time,
The bloke had been married—
Now his wife’s a souse,
Because she had carried
The secret that her Sam is no louse.
Neither would tell who slew. . .
Made him do time
For crime.
’twas she who
In fact slew
Her bro., who
Said the two’d not take vows.
So Sam sat there
In jail, seven years;
Then to his house
One evening
Ventures a fellow who
Gets out of line.
