Prohibition makes the Yanks thirsty
Chapter 87
hOf course, the Yanks never like to be told what to do,
2By anybody,
3And as soon as it was illegal to drink alcohol,
4iThey remembered they were thirsty,
5And besides, they deserved a drink,
6After all they had been through,
7jWhat with winning the war to end all wars,
8kAnd making the world safe for democracy,
9And then getting home just in time to start the Roaring Twenties and all,
10So set ’em up, bartender,
11If you please.
