"The Double-Breasted Mansion On The Square" गीत

I once was young and gallant and drove a span of grays,
I think about six-ninety was their pace,
I'd fifty thousand servant girls, but don't give this away,
And a trotting cow I sent to every race.

I'd fifty thousand gold mines; I owned half of the world;
No wonder that this statement makes you stare;
I'd fifty thousand dog puppies with their tails all turned up
And my double-breasted mansion on the square.

CHORUS:
The roof was copper-bottom, the chimney solid gold,
An elevator placed at every stair;
I lost a lot at "Keno" and I never shall forget
My double-breasted mansion on the square.

One million head of cattle used to roam about my farm,
And each it had a splendid feather bed;
There were male and female roosters and they took their whiskey warm,
They were shanghai, shanghoop, pullin' China bred.

My peach trees yielded butter, my plum trees yielded cream;
I used to sow and mow the yellow pear.
But alas, my wealth has vanished, and every night I dream
Of my double-breasted mansion on the square.

Oh, well do I remember not many years ago
The bummer used to hang around my door;
They got outside my whiskey, they smoked up my cigars,
My servant girls and hash they did adore.

But scenes have changed since then, and I am poor myself,
At a free lunch I can take quite a share;
I am thinking of the Switzer cheese that once I used to eat
In my double-breasted mansion on the square.
