Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
Please give me your attention I'll introduce to you
A man that is a credit to our red, white and blue
His head is made of lumber and solid as a rock
He is a common worker and his name is Mr. Block
And Block he thinks he may be President some day
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
Yes Mr. Block is lucky he found a job by gee
The sharks got seven dollars for job and fare and fee
They shipped him to a desert and dumped him with his truck
But when he tried to find his job he sure was out of luck
He shouted 'That's too raw, I'll fix them with the law'
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
Block hiked back to the city but wasn't doing well
He said 'I'll join the union, the great AF of L'
He got a job the next morning got fired in the night
He said 'I'll see McDermott and he'll fix that foreman right'
McDermott said 'You see, you've got our sympathy'
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
Election Day he shouted 'A Socialist for mayor'
The comrade got elected he happy was for fair
But after the election he got an awful shock
A great big socialistic Bull did rap him on the block
And comrade Block did sob 'I helped him get his job'
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
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. Rockafell-'
Old Pete said 'Is that so? You'll meet them down below'
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
You take the cake, you make me ache
Tie a rock on your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for liberty's sake
Please give me your attention I'll introduce to you
A man that is a credit to our red, white and blue
His head is made of lumber and solid as a rock
He is a common worker and his name is Mr. Block
And Block he thinks he may be President some day
Oh Mr. Block you were born by mistake
