  The money kings in Cuba blew up the gunboat Maine, But Block got awful angry and blamed it all on Spain. He went right in the battle and there he lost his leg, And now he's peddling shoestrings and is walking on a peg. He shouts, "Remember Maine, Hurrah! To hell with Spain!"

Poor Block he died one evening, I'm very glad to state, He climbed the golden ladder up to the pearly gate. He said, "Oh, Mr. Peter, one word I'd like to tell, I'd like to meet the Astorbilts and John D. Rockefell." Old Pete said, "Is that so? You'll meet them down below."
