Gravitas, Simplicitas, Adultery

The Councillors
Coming with a fatherly air,
With the Old Gray Mayor in the chair;
We are all in accord,
With our trust in the Lord,
Coming in with a fatherly air.

Coming in with a fatherly air,
For our fair city's burdens we bear;
And whenever we meet
How we bluster and bleat!
Coming in with a fatherly air.

Yippy ay
We're away
We'll distribute lots of bull's wool here today!

Coming in with a fatherly air;
Our meeting is a fatuous affair;
As we rollick and romp
With municipal pomp,
Coming in with a fatherly air.
