Lighter Lyrics

Who Killed Brer Rabbit ?

I no killed Brer Rabbit ? Why I ! " said Dame Fashion.. " Since furs are my passion, I killed Brer Rabbit."

Who helped and abetted ?

" We, we ! " cried her daughters,

" We called for the slaughters ! We helped and abetted."

Who wears his fur jacket ? " We, we ! " cried the shoppers, " We saved notes and coppers To buy his fur jacket " What price bought your mantle ? " Hush Hush I " said the wearers, " You'd hest ask the snarers, What price bought the mantle

Who'll be chief Mourner ?

" Not I ! " cried each maiden, " My head is 'blood-laden, I dare not be mourner ! " . .

And all of the world said, " only a habit,

A whim that has tortured our poorlyer Rabbit
