On the Fat of the Land workers


Once there was a man whose grandfather fled

from Bavaria to make all his dimes

He opened a bar with breakfast and bed

and a brothel for blokes on their way to the mines.

He passed all his wealth to his wife and his son

when he died of the 'fake' Spanish flu

They used up the money to buy land by the ton

building houses and naval yards too.

Taken to court on a profiting claim,

by the Senate and State of New York

he put the firm in his son's name

and gave him twelve million to work.

 His Immigrant wives die in very odd ways

 but he finds a young girl to replace them in days.
