Mrs. Roosevelt hopes the library of
Congress will include in its files a dis
respectful folk song created by the civil
ian conservation corps boys. President
Roosevelt has heard the song which gibes
at his pet agency. Two former CCC boys
sang it for him at a Labor day ficnic at
Hyde Park. He thought the song was swell
but Crown Princess Martha of Norway was
astonished at the audacity of the song.
It is one of those folk songs with a
tune like "Fbanky and Johnny" which grow
and grow and here are six verses and the
refrain the president heardi
I broke into a jeweler's
And stole a thing or two.
They said, "You better leave town boy,
The cops are after you."
REFRAIN;
Oh, I don't want no more of the CCCI
See, Bud, I want to go home.
The salary that they pay you,
They say it's mighty fine;
They give you thirty dollars,
And they fine you twenty-nine
When you go into the "REC" hall
You'd better bring your bunch.
And when you go into the mess hall
You'd better bring your lunch.
The pancakes that they feed you,
They say they're mighty fine,
I bounced one on the table
And killed a friend of mine.
The turkey that they feed you,
They 6ay it's of the best.
We get the neck and feathers,
The captain gets the rest.
The coffee that they feed you,
They say it's mighty fine;
Good for cuts and bruises -
Just like iodine.
Next thing to having a doorknob come off
in your hand, the emptiest feeling is step
ping on a running board that isn'tthfcre.
