Never trust a white man,
	Never kill a Jew,
	Never sign a contract,
	Never rent a pew.
	Don't enlist in armies;
	Nor marry many wives;
	Never write for magazines;
	Never scratch your hives.
	Always put paper on the seat,
	Don't believe in wars,
	Keep yourself both clean and neat,
	Never marry whores.
	Never pay a blackmailer,
	Never go to law,
	Never trust a publisher,
	Or you'll sleep on straw.
	All your friends will leave you
	All your friends will die
	So lead a clean and wholesome life
	And join them in the sky.
