That Long John's such a bag of wind!
He always likes to brag.
He practices one-upmanship
So much it makes me gag!

No matter what one may have done
Lohn John has done one better.
He'll tell you that his family
Is perfect to the letter!

While we were having lunch last week
He looked me in the eye
And told me that his grandpa knew
The date that he would die!

Not only did he know the year...
He knew the month and day
And when that day came 'round at last
The old man passed away!!!

"Oh, come on, John!" I groaned aloud
"You know that it's a lie!
It is not possible to know
The day you're gonna die!"

But Long John swore it was the truth
He wouldn't change a word.
I simply laughed and said that he
Was totally absurd!

"Ok", I said, "then tell me how
He knew when he'd be dead!"
"That's easy", he smiled back at me.
"Judge told him", Long John said!!!

Oh my goodness - I cannot believe anybody would think this was wonderful. I cannot believe it. Look at how you have besmirched my family name! Look at how you have thrown down the gauntlet. Just look at that! My goodness. You're gonna get it for this! My kitty kicking days are on hold now, you scalawag. My goodness!

Seems the gauntlet's been thrown down
said one to another, clown to clown,
"I'll get you, I will" John said to 'Deer
while we sit, agog, to clap, and cheer...

Balladeer,
Poor Long John. Probably hates it when the truth leaks out! What a pity.
