the secret


by horace p sternwall



the sun comes up in the morning
the moon comes out at night
frank and eddie were buddies
but neither was very bright

eddie had a secret plan
to conquer the universe
frank was born to a kingdom
but was banished by an ancient curse

a hellhound named herbert hoover
was hot upon their trail
in a final act of desperation
they decided to rob the mail

uncle bud macgregor
was a railroad bull to fear
and arrested many a poor rounder
every sad and lonely year

uncle bud had a sweetheart
whose name was known to none
but it is written in the stars
in the light of a trillion suns

frank thought it was nellie
and eddie thought it was sue
and if they ever rob the mail
the world will know it too

robin hood and jesse james
are sleeping in the waves
and dreaming of the little dog
they tried so hard to save
