"Sence Bill Tafts cum to Wash-ing-ton
De Possum's all de rage.
Its serv'd in all de Restarants,
An all de bes' Ca-fays.
Dat luscus bit of temtin meat.
Your'e sure to find a treat.
An' its now de swellest morsel
For most any one to eat.
(REFRAIN)
Oh its Possum, Possu, Possum.
With sweet Potaters on de side.
Just ask dis coon and see how soon
He'll tell you dat's his size.
Da never was a minit
Any other food was in it.
For de Juicy, Juicy Possum takes de prize.
Ole Teddy Bar's a dead one now
Sence Bill Possum's come to town.
An' it taint no use to make excuse
Or raise a fuus an' frown.
Jes get in touch wit'de President
Eat Possum when you dine
Den ask a Job of de Goverment
An' you'll cert'ly be in line." ...Refrain
