your straw hat feel so fast it's gonna

have an hour to pull me up it was lucky

i only went death

didn't i go to the expense of hiring an

airplane to take you up so you get your

hearing back for the further expense of

bribing the pilot so it landed in the

middle of a strike massacre at heron

illinois you scoop the whole world on

the story you made yourself the envy of

every newspaper man alive

oh well it was worth it with that

even if i did get written out of town on

a rail with eight bullet holes and a hat

that cost me six bucks

and charged on the expense account at 15

and got away with it

ah those are the days well you'll

certainly have a lot to tell the kids

yeah what kids you're getting married

well why not a guy's got to settle down

sometime

get a home and wife

you see it's kids that hold it all

together

that's right i never was big enough to

let a nice girl reform me so i could

stay in a two room love nested nights

with the wife and kids while the fellas

were out having a lot of fun

oh marriage does make a respectable

citizen out of a man and it must be

grand

you never have to worry about a place to

go you always know where you're going

home none of this idiotic jumping around

at all hours and having to be on the

inside of all the crazy excitement in

this town

administration stand against the red

menace personified by mr earl williams

the guy who loses the job he's held for

14 years

joins a parade of the unemployed and

because he's goofy from lack of food

waves a red undershirt williams is a

dangerous radical and he killed the

police

tough luck to kill a colored policeman

in a town where the colored boat counts

half south euclid street color

well she became the mother of a pikanini

in a patrol wagon with sheriff hartman's

rifle squad acting as nurses

oh you should have seen a miss

i want to put our things in the car

there

well phoebe was walking along the street

when all of a sudden she began

right so the police coaxed her into the

patrol wagon and started a race with a

store

when the baby was born they examined him

carefully to see if it was earl williams

who they knew was hiding somewhere

they named the baby peter hartman the

wolf in honor of the sheriff

and they all pitched in a dollar a piece

on account of it being the first baby

ever born on a manhunt

wait a minute here's the mayor himself

maybe there's a statement

don't test me now please i have a lot on

my mind his owner won't say anything

have you seen sharon hartman no where to

fix this jailbreak gonna have on the

colored voters

not to know in what way can an

unavoidable misfortune of this sort

influence the duty of every citizen

colored or otherwise ah your honor

tell me is there a red minister right

there hortman

i've been looking for you so are we

what's the adult pinky who engineered

this getaway

for just a minute fellas we got him

located williams where

where used to live the rifle squad just

starting out you can catch him if you

hurry

hey i want to talk to you i got time for

it honest i'll i'll see you after hey

did you actually give williams that

well the gun asked me for it i thought

it was for some scientific speaker

kruger calling here's a red hot

statement from the governor

the governor claims the mayor of the

sheriff have shown themselves to be a

couple of eight-year-olds playing with

fire

quote him as follows it's a lucky thing

for the city that next tuesday is

election day

as the citizens will thus be saved the

expense of impeaching the mayor and the

sheriff

that's all higher honor

pete i've got a mighty unpleasant task

to perform

fred you're just going to get me right

i've already sworn in four hundred

decisions do you wanna bankrupt this

administration

why not get them for only twelve dollars

a night twelve dollars for those room

medical

viewers out there shooting up everybody

they can see for the fun of it

but

now don't appeal to my sentimental side

i don't know what to say fred

a thing of this kind almost ruins a

man's faith in human nature wait

with our families fred i've always

looked on bessie as my

own sister if there was any way out but

there is a way out

and just give me a couple hours will you

hello

400 suppers nothing doing this is a

manhunt not a banquet

that 12 covers everything

that gives you an idea what i'm up

against we're up against a lot more than

that with that nutty slogan you invented

reform the reds with a rope there

ain't any reds and you know it well why

go into that now

fred the slogan i had was all we needed

to win keep king george out of our city

slide down the rain pipe and commit any

of the wind is on this side well if the

story's gonna walk right in the window
