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.
