﻿T-BONE SLIM DISCUSSES HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!  
 
(Air: The Runaway Train Came Down the Track) 
 
I. 
‘Tis a horrible death to freeze to death, 
We understand; 
‘Tis a horrible death to starve to death, 
On Koffee And— 
‘Tis a horrible death ——and don’t forget: 
More horrible than to drown in sweat, 
Indeed, IT, IS, A, horrible, horrible death. 
 
II. 
‘Tis a horrible death to roast to death 
Where e’er you gc ; h ‘ • 
‘Tis a horrible death to “peel your neck,” , 
To “serve” the foe; 
A horrible, horrible, horrible death 
Like one of those ‘pages’ of Queen ‘Lisabeth — 
Indeed, it, is, a horrible, horrible death. 
III.	 
‘Tis a horrible death to flirt with death, 
Without a me’ow; 
‘Tis a horrible death to lose your “heft” 
Just like a cow; 
‘Tis a horrible end, my Christian friend— 
Your wordly rations to Not defend 
— Indeed, it, is, a, horrible, end. 
 
IV. 
‘Tis a horrible death — but WHAT is left? 
A Booby ward? 
‘Tis a horrible death to bow to “theft”— 
Without a CARD;  
‘Tis a strictly non-union, unorganized move 
That u’d tickle tho “art of an Erbert Hoove — 
Indeed, she, is, a, horrible, horrible death. 
 
V. 
‘Tis a horrible death to land in jail — 
Les’ sing— a song. 
‘Tis a horrible death —let no man fail! 
The WHOLE night long. 
The citizen by hix lonely fire 
Shall hear the “smell” of a funeral pyre— 
Indeed, it, is, a, horrible, horrible death. 
(Repeat) 
(The citizen by his lonely fire 
Shall hear our melodious voice aspire . . . . . 
Indeed, it, is, a horrible, horrible, death) 
(Repeat) 
(The citizen by his lonely fire 
Shall long to see us all expire 
Indeed, it, is, a horrible, horrible, death) 
our melodious voice 
 
(Dedicated to Enid, Oklahoma, bastille.) 
(To be sung horridly not hurriedly.)
