EXPERT DOPE, by                    
First Line: When dempsey fights car-pon-ty-ay
Last Line: Oh, well, thass up ta georges an' jack.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ireland, Baron
Subject(s): Fights


When Dempsey fights Car-pon-ty-ay
Some scrap is what it's gonna be;
Some scrap is right -- some scrap, I'll say --
An' here's the way it looks ta me:

Jack's posolutely sure ta win
Unless the Frog lands on him first,
But if he don't -- the dope's all in;
Poor Georges is gonna get reversed.

But this here now Car-pon-ty-ay
Has got a chancet -- unless, o' course,
Jack gets that right in first -- I'll say
That right's got kick, boy! like a horse!

There's only one thing got me stopped;
If Jack or Georges gits home a crack
The same time he himself gits popped --
Oh, well, thass up ta Georges an' Jack.
