THE CAPTAIN "AGAINST THE WALL"
To citizen J. Allemane.
Against the wall!
Said the captain,
Mouth full
And drinking hard,
Against the wall!
"What have you done?"
"Pardon, my brave,
You are hungry, you're eating lunch,
You don't want to be a slave,
Nor to be led by the nose.
All this is good, and it's manly!
But if they take me away, my friend,
Since we think the same,
You must go also.
Do you understand my logic?
Long live the republic!"
Against the wall!
Said the captain,
Mouth full
And drinking hard,
Against the wall!
