(Ko-Ko:)As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little listOf society offenders who might well be underground,And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!There’s the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs — All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs — All children who are up in dates, and floor you with ‘em flat — All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that — And all third persons who on spoiling tête-á-têtes insist — They’d none of ‘em be missed — they’d none of ’em be missed!
(Ko-Ko:)There’s the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,And the piano-organist — I’ve got him on the list!And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,They never would be missed — they never would be missed!Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,All centuries but this, and every country but his own;And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,And who “doesn’t think she dances, but would rather like to try”;And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist — I don’t think she’d be missed — I’m sure she’d not he missed!^
*(Chorus:)He’s got her on the list — he’s got her on the list;And I don’t think she’ll be missed — I’m sure she’ll not be missed!
