Alternative title
  • Oh, I am a rural assemblyman, From Wayback County fair, With no conscience at all, and one ounce of brains, And the hayseed in my hair. And I dance all over New York's proud town, With a foot as heavy as Fate; I levy her taxes and pocket my bribes, And New York must pay the freight.
