By Degrees by Berton Braley
The Skiller flows and flows as everybody knows and If your throat is dim it ran wet it. The mighty Demon Rum is still a seeing some and there are places where You can get a slug of gin or rye you frequently can buy Though the price of the stuff's rising. There still is lots of booze which a thirsty man can use But the country's getting dry, dry, drier. Oh a tippler still can type, but listen to my dope: He is getting less and less for his money, He is paying out big jack for varnish and shell. And the physical effect isn't funny Here's a truth you may not blink there is less and less to drink Though there still is lots of hooch to acquire And a man can fadle in quite a load of rum and gin But the country's getting dry, dry, desert Though the Barrel still glowing old Joyn Barleycorn is tolne. He is wobbly from the bump that we give him, He may get a kick or two, but he's pretty nearly through And these anti dry parades will not save him. He is old and full of crime and it takes a little time Fire so tough to bird John can expire. There is liquor on his breath but he's close to death And the country's getting dry, dry, drier.
