The Ballad of Czolgosz

Czolgosz, working man
 Born on the middle of Michigan
 Woke with a thought
 And away he went
 To the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo
 In Buffalo
 Saw all of a sudden how things were run
 Said "Time's-a-wasting, it's 1901"
 Some men have everything
 And some have none
 So rise and shine
 In the USA you can make your way to the head of the line
 Single line, ladies and gentlemen
 Line points here to meet the President of the United States
 Single line to shake hands with president William McKinley
 Czolgosz, quiet man
 Worked on a quiet and simple plan
 Strolled of a morning
 All spick and span
 To the Temple of Music by the Tower of Light
 At the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo
 In Buffalo
 Saw Bill McKinley there in the sun
 Heard Bill McKinley say: "Folks, have fun
 Some men have everything and some have none
 And that's just fine
 In the USA you can work your way to the head of the line"
 Big Bill, gave them a thrill
 Big Bill, sold them a bill
 Big Bill, who'd wanna kill a man of good will like Big Bill
 Doesn't the President look marvelous?
 So round and prosperous
 You know what his favorite dish is?
 It was on the papers: beef!
 I'm told that in his spare time he enjoys collecting coins
 Wanna sip?
 No, thank you
 Czolgosz, angry man
 Said: "I will do what a poor man can"
 Yes, and there's nowhere more fitting than
 In the Temple of Music, by the Tower of Light
 Between the fountain of abundance and the Court of Lily's
 At the Great Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo
 In Buffalo
 Wrapped him a handkerchief 'round his gun
 Said: "Nothing wrong about what I've done"
 Some men have everything
 And some have none
 That's by design
 The idea wasn't mine alone, but mine
 And that's the sign
 In the USA you can have your say
 You can set your goals
 And seize the day
 You've been given the freedom to work your way to the head of the line
 To the head of the line
