If a man comes here to jabber while the other fellows work, if he's prone to be a stabber with an anarchistic dirk, let us tell him, through our faces, we'll be happy if he chases to the foul and foreign places where his fellow loafers lurk. If a skate from Europe's alleys comes to this star-spangled shore, hoping by his quips and sallies to make honest workers sore, let's comdemn his crazy notion, let us curb his weird emotion, let us lead him to the ocean and the ship that sails at four. War has left our people nervous, and we should reduce to junk any freak who comes to serve us with a lot of Russian bunk; let us treat him as a traitor, as a sinful agitator, let us load him on a freighter, where the billows to ker-plunk.If you want to feel good and wear abig smile, Give forth your best efforts all thewhile; If your work is hard and you feelblue, Think what success will mean to you. Just put yourself in your boss's place Would you be satisfied with yourpace? Are you doing the best that you cando, Or "anyway," to just get through? Don't take your job as an idle jest, Go at it like a man and do your best. Just show your boss that you're trueblue, And he will know what to do for you.
