For they're hangin’ Danny Deever *cause he went to matinée, And also ‘cause he kissed his wife upon their wedding day— They'll teach our country’s people that it’s wrong to be too gay, ‘And they’re hangin’ Danny Deever in the mornin’. “What makes those people slave so hard?” said Boob-on-Parade. “To pay the rent, to pay the rent,” the county censor said. “Why can’t they get a little ale?” said Boob-on-Parade. “Shut up or you will land in jail,” the county censor said. For they're hangin’ Danny Deever ‘cause his mustache smelled of beer, . And also ‘cause his smilin’ face re- flected too much cheer.
