To let the punishment fit the crime— The punishment fit the crime; And make each prisoner pent Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment! Of innocent merriment!”

Yet everybody says I’m such a disagreeable man!
And I can’t think why!”

They’ve got to leave that brain outside,
And vote just as their leaders tell ‘em to.”

He must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill!”
