IF I could have my choice I wouldn't be / The main guy of a kingdom-nix fer me.
I'd only wish that I could be as great / As one of these gay boys from up the State / Imagines that we think he is when he / Tilts back his hat and lights his cigarette / And does the pouter-pigeon act; I'd let / Them have their thrones if I could be as grand / As these boys think they are when they "run down" / On business trips and let their chests expand / And act as though they'd come to buy the town.
