lirik lagu jerome moross & john la touche - scylla and charybdis
[scylla]
oh, mr charybdis
[hector]
oh yes, mr scylla?
[scylla]
how’s that brand new yacht you’ve got?
[hector]
how goes your villa?
[scylla]
oh, the upkeep keeps me down
and i’m moving back to town
[hector]
and his wife’s still wearing last year’s old chinchilla
[scylla]
ooh!
hey, mr charybdis
[hector]
oh yes, good friend scylla?
[scylla]
have you cornered the hemp market in manila?
[hector]
i did corner it, old sport
but i had to sell it short
[scylla]
positively, mister charybdis?
[hector]
absolutely, mister scylla
oh!
[scylla]
hey!
he pretends he sold hemp short
so as not to let the rest in
if you are the clever sort
hemp’s the thing you will invest in
[crowd]
hurry, hurry
buy it, sell it
hurry, hurry
buy it now
[boys]
we would like to buy some shares
but we lack the dough to dash in
[ajax]
if we pool our railroad fares
and those bets we won, we’ll cash in
[crowd]
hurry, hurry
buy it, sell it
hurry, hurry
sell it now
[boys]
if we lose our railroad fares
getting home will be a nuisance
[ajax]
if we win, we’re millionaires
by investing just a few cents
[crowd]
hurry, hurry
buy it, sell it
hurry, hurry
buy it now
hurry, hurry
buy it, sell it
hurry, hurry
sell it now
[boys]
one~quarter, half
three~quarters, wow
we think you ought
to sell it now
[ajax]
rising hemp will turn the trick
and this is where we get rich quick
[scylla]
oh, mr charybdis
[hector]
oh yes, mr scylla?
[scylla]
how’d your big game hunting go?
[hector]
got one gorilla
[scylla]
bought a vineyard up in maine
that makes passable champagne
[hector]
though his ulcers keep him down to sarsaparilla
[scylla]
excuse me, charybdis
[hector]
oh yes, good friend scylla?
[scylla]
speaking of manila hemp
[hector]
you mean vanilla?
i just swept the market clean
of that sweet vanilla bean
[scylla]
hemp’s a bust then, mr charybdis?
[hector]
it’s a wash out, mr scylla
[boys]
poor ajax
