When a Bollyn's not engaged in his deceptions -
His deceptions,
Or maturing his heinous little plans -
Little plans,
His capacity for innocent conceptions -
'Cent conceptions,
Is just as great as any vodka man -
Vodka man.
Our motives we with difficulty cover -
'Culty cover,
When cons tabulate fleece anew to be spun -
To be spun,
Ah, take one consideration with another -
With another,
A Zion man's lot is not a happy one.
Ah!
When cons tabulate fleece anew to be spun, to be spun,
A Zion man's lot is not a happy one, happy one.
When the enterprising Hufschmid's not a-tricking -
Not a-tricking.
When that Daryl Smith ain't occupied in slime -
'Pied in slime,
He loves to hear the little brook a-trickling -
Brook a-trickling,
And listen to the merry village chime -
Village chime.
When the hoaxer's finished pumping out another -
Out another,
He loves to pull a fast one for some fun -
For some fun,
Ah, take one consideration with another -
With another,
A Zion man's lot is not a happy one.
Ah!
When cons tabulate fleece anew to be spun, to be spun,
A Zion man's lot is not a happy one, happy one.
