We cannot all be Doctor Straw,
And boss the Marshficld board.
We cannot all become the gent
Who wins the town's reward.
We cannot all become the guy
Who rules the highest roost,
But one thing we can do, say I
That's boost, my brothers, boost!
This town is a little hotter town
Than anywhere you'll hit;
There's naught on earth can keep it down
If we keep boosting it.
Let's lay the rails; let's let a yell
By local pride produced
There's one thing all can do as well
That's boost, my brothers, boost!
When any fellow slatts to knock
This town in any ay,
Our dads to dig, our maids to mock,
Our local folks to flay
Just take the knocking one aside,
And 'ere your hold ts loosed,
Just whisper gently "Darn your hide,
Now boost, you knocker, boost."
