Lyrics
Dumb Row Laughs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No chance in a bank
So it's driving a tank
Stout as a brick
Thick as a plank
It's needlework instead of maths
When the dumb row laughs
Give him a gun
See 'em go
Where they go is a no-no
As welcome as a turd in a swimming baths
The dumb row laughs
No niggers or yids or wops or nips
No wogs or kites or krauts or spicks
No micks or jocks or taffs
When the dumb row laughs
