‘SYD SWAGMAN’
Wild drunks, mild drunks, weary drunks and sad,
Drunks that ‘knowed your dad, me son, when he was a lad’,
Tall drunks, small drunks, tubby drunks and thin.
Drunks that seem to cheek the cops until they get run in;
Square drunks, lair drunks, moody drunks and loud,
Drunks that will not drink with drunks because they are too proud.
Tough drunks, rough drunks, dirty drunks and fat,
Drunks that shicker with the flies and shicker on their pat;
Poor drunks, sore drunks—heads as big as tanks,
Drunks that keep the town alive with their funny pranks;
Glad drunks, mad drunks, yellow drunks and white—
Somehow I meet a lot of drunks whenever I get tight.
