Of course, that was a long time ago
Joice Heth is gone and forgotten
So is the American Museum
And the Living Whale
And Jenny Lind
And my poor Tom Thumb
And them reubens that came over on the Mayflower have gone to dust
And Tom Jefferson's memory
And Old Franklin's flown his last kite
So my kind of humbugs disappeared
Pity
There was a sucker born ev'ry minute
Each time that second hand swept to the top
Like dandelions up they popped
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide
And though I fed 'em bonafide baloney
With no truth in it
Writer(s): Michael Stewart, Cy Coleman
