Lyrics

Youth and Beauty Brigade

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.

We're calling all bed-wetters and ambulance chasers.

Poor pick-pockets, bring 'em in.

Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade.

We're lining up the light loafer'd, and the bored bench-warmers.

Castaways and cut-outs, fill it up.

Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade.

Nothing will stand in our way.

I figured I had paid my debt to society

by paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library.

At the library, they said, "Son, go join up.

Go join the Youth and Beauty Brigade."

Nothing will stand in our way.
