Neither do I.

Then why don't you just leave us alone

You newspaper people

have stirred up enough trouble for Bert.

what do you want, anyway

I came to tell boy Socrates here

that the Baltimore Herald

is opposed to Hemlock,

and will provide a lawyer.

Who

Who

I don't know yet, but what's the difference

A new lawyer with old tricks,

An old lawyer with new tricks.

Wake up, Copernicus.

The law is still on the side

of the lawmakers,

and everything revolves around

their terra firma.

Then why bother, you and your newspaper

Because I know that the sunrise

is an optical illusion.

My teacher told me so.

You don't seem like the kind of person

who'd want to bother.

You seem so...

cynical.

True, true

That's part of my fascination

I do hateful things

for which people love me

and I do lovable things for

which they hate me.

I'm admired for my detestability.

Now, don't worry, little Eva.

I may be rancid butter,

but I'm on your side of the bread.

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

and it's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

it's good enough for me

it was good for little David

it was good for little David

it was good for little David

and it's good enough for me

Oh, give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

Just give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

It was good for little David

It was good for little David

It was good for little David

and it's good enough for me

Oh, give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

Just give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

and it's good enough for me

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

It was good for old Jonah

and it's good enough for me

Oh, give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

It's good enough for me

Matthew Harrison Brady...

as mayor of Hillsboro,

may I say that this municipality

is proud to have within its city limits

the warrior who has always fought
