When they divulged their plan to him 'Twas plain for him to see They did not have a skid for him Nor hold a lemon out; The little message did for him Without the slightest doubt They handed him a fetva. The marble glance was not turned on, They had no icy mitt, There was no language hot turned on They would not think if it. They did not swiftly fire him out No put him on the skid Nor with objections tire him out But this is what they did: They banded him a fetva. Son, when your genial boss to you Observes that you are through, It is no double cross to you ' Nor even a "skiddoo," You're not on the toboggan slide Nor getting "twenty-three;" Just let this through you noggin slide: It's plain as plain can be He's handing you a fetva. When some coquettish, sweet young thing Says to take back your ring. The fair and lovely, neat young thing Does not give you a sting; She does not mean "Be on your way," Nor that your cake is dough. But after you have gone your way The chances are you'll know She's banded you a fetva. |
