They Took Away Your Drink From You, The Kind Old Humanizing Glass; Soon They Will Take Tobacco Too, And Next They'll Take Our Demi-Tasse. Don't Say, "The Bill Will Never Pass," Nor This My Warning Word Disdain; You Said It Once, You Silly Ass - Don't Make The Same Mistake Again. We Know Them Now, The Bloodless Crew, We Know Them All Too Well, Alas! There'S Nothing That They Wouldn't Do To Make The World A Bible Class; Though Against Bottled Beer Or Bass I Search The Sacred Text In Vain To Find A Whisper - By The Mass! Don't Make The Same Mistake Again. Beware These Legislators Blue, Pouring Their Moral Poison-Gas On All The Joys Our Fathers Knew; The Very Flowers In The Grass Are Safe No More, And, Lad And Lass, 'Ware The Old Birch-Rod And The Cane! Here Comes Our Modern Hudibras! - Don't Make The Same Mistake Again. Envoi Prince, Vanished Is The Rail Of Brass, So Mark Me Well And My Refrain - Tobacco Next! You Silly Ass, Don't Make The Same Mistake Again.
