No. 20 - Topical Trio - Pumpernickel, Aufpassen and Stephan
Aufpassen: | Just suppose that I am going to arrest you; Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
We see your point of view. | |
Aufpassen: | As policeman with my little club I beat you; Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
We quite agree with you. | |
Aufpassen: | If to hit a p'liceman back again you dare, I drag you to the station by the hair; And you're booked for "sault and battery" for fair; Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
Why certainly we do. | |
Pumpernickel: | It's just as clear as day. |
Stephan: | There's not a chance to doubt it; |
Pumpernickel: | Turn it over as you may. |
Stephan: | There is no argument about it. |
Aufpassen: | If you ask a civil question of a copper you have met, He will answer with a club, for that's his only etiquette; And you'll have to pay a fine or thirty days you're sure to get, Am I right? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
Why of course, my boy, you're right! | |
Aufpassen: | Just suppose a lady passes, smiling sweetly; Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
No, no, we follow her. | |
Aufpassen: | And she looks as if you won her heart completely; Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
Why certainly we do. | |
Aufpassen: | You invite her in to dine at a café; She wins your young affections right away; Then she says goodbye, you miss your watch next day, Do you follow me? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
Did that occur to you? | |
Pumpernickel: | It's just as clear as day. |
Stephan: | There's not a chance to doubt it; |
Pumpernickel: | Turn it over as you may. |
Stephan: | There is no argument about it. |
Aufpassen: | If you find again the lady with the fair deceiving face, And you ask about the ticker, if you can with any grace, Look out then for a libel suit or breach of promise case, Am I right? |
Pumpernickel & Stephan: | |
Why of course, my boy, you're right! |
