Peradventure we can pick
Some reform and maze It stick.

With the' sale of rum and beer.
Friends of Progress and Reform,
On this Issue let us swarm:
"Swat the fly!"
You, good sir, who choose to stay
Home upon election day;
You, who chiefly are to blame
For our city's open shame;
You, by whom we are betrayed
You m&T join in this crusade:
Even you may have a shot:
You can STAY AT HOME and swat
Swat the fly!
