OK. That was the first point above New Orleans in Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi.
Let's try this:
Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
CHORUS
Punch, brothers! punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Doesn't anyone besides me read Twain? That was from his short story "Punch, Brothers! Punch!" You can also find the lines in Robert McCloskey's Centerburg Tales about Homer Price. It is in the story where the rhyme is:Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
CHORUS
Punch, brothers! punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
"In a whole doughnut is a nice whole hole.
When you take a big bite, hold the whole hole tight.
If a little bit bitten, or a great bit bitten,
Any whole hole with a hole bitten in it,
Is a holy whole hole--
And it just plain isn't!"
I give up. No one more.
I sat on their clothes-- to keep them from being stolen...
