"City Council Chorus"

We're the ten city fathers of Slumdon town,
And our jobs are soft as an eiderdown.
For we'll tell you what we do,
In a moment or two,
And it won't take long to tell you what we do.
We clean up scraps,
We dig up streets;
If there's smarter guys than us we've never met them.
We like the chaps
That bought our seats,
And to prove we don't forget them
Do nothing to upset them;
So we amble along in our own quiet way,
With a prayer for our Mayor and another for our pay,
And when anybody comes
With complaints about the slums,
We just Stamp as we Shout, "Go Away."
