The dodger
Aaron Copland
Yes the candidate's a dodger,
Yes a well-known dodger.
Yes the candidate's a dodger,
Yes and I'm a dodger too.
He'll meet you and treat you,
And ask you for your vote.
But look out boys,
He's a-dodgin' for your note.
Yes we're all dodgin'
A-dodgin', dodgin', dodgin'.
Yes we're all dodgin'
Out away through the world.
Yes the preacher he's a dodger,
Yes a well-known dodger.
Yes the preacher he's a dodger,
Yes and I'm a dodger too.
He'll preach you a gospel,
And tell you of your crimes.
But look out boys,
He's a-dodgin' for your dimes.
Yes we're all dodgin'...
etc.
Yes the lover he's a dodger,
Yes a well-known dodger.
Yes the lover he's a dodger,
Yes and I'm a dodger too.
He'll hug you and kiss you,
And call you his bride,
But look out girls,
He's a-tellin' you a lie.
Yes we're all dodgin'...
etc.
