Never ever again will you ever hear

The sweet sound of no

beautiful singer's voice

No angels playing guitars

Or plucking on they harps

No flutes, no trumpet players

Will be left back of Bouchon

Ain't gonna be no ditch diggers,

no construction workers

No pimps, no hustlers, no jaw jerkers

No politicians, no higher religions

No more Love- Ins, no more Human Be- Ins
