And some song lyrics from the first music number:
The last man nearly ruined this place,
He didnât know what to do with it
If you think this countryâs bad enough now,
Just wait till I get through with it. /
The countryâs taxes must be fixed,
And I know what to do with it.
If you think youâre paying too much now,
Just wait till I get through with it. /
I will not stand for anything
Thatâs crooked or unfair.
Iâm strictly on the up and up,
So everyone beware. /
If anyoneâs caught taking graft
And I donât get my share,
We stand âem up against the wallâŚ
And pop goes the weasel!
