tom paxton – the fatal glass lyrics
now there once was a young man, and he came to the big city
seeking a lucrative position commensurate with his talents
and he walked the streets all day and he couldn’t find a job
till at last he secured employment working in a stone quarry with all the other college graduates
and one evening after work, they lured him into a saloon
and they urged him to drink a gl-ss of beer
but he said he wouldn’t do it for he’d made a promise to his mother
that he’d never touch a gl-ss containing an alcoholic beverage
well, they laughed and they jeered, they called him a coward
till at last he raised and drained the fatal gl-ss
and when he’d seen what he had done, he dashed the gl-ss against the bar
and rushed from the saloon with a terrible case of delirium tremens
and the first one that he saw was a salvation army lady
and with one kick he broke her tambourine
while all she said was “heaven bless you”, and placed a mark upon his brow
with a kick she had learned before she was saved
so the moral of this story is to shun the fatal gl-ss
and don’t go around kicking other people’s tambourines
