 All the fur and fin  will lose  again
 Cause our better is  their worst  reckonin'

 And how will we replace  that symphony?
 I've got the blackest boots,  the whitest skin
 Satisfy  my sugar tongue again
 Sing me lullabies  of shoe-shine days
 Guilded verses  for your ethylene
 And sing ‘em to me free  and clean

 From hunting trips abroad they lose again , , ,
