Oh, crap-shooter, Oh, crap-shooter
You can shoot all ober dis world,
You can shoot from de six, from de seven, to de 'leben,
But God knows you can't shoot er inter heben.
Oh, back-biter, Oh, back-biter,
You can bite all ober dis world,
You can bite from de six, to seben, to de 'leben,
But God knows you can't shoot er into heben.
Oh, schemer, Oh, schemer,
You can scheme all ober dis world,
You can scheme from de six, to seben, to de 'leben,
But God knows you can't shoot er inter heben.
