- Harry Kakalegian
- (to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic")
I am singing you this story of a great man of the cloth.- His name was Kakalegian and he worked for Irving Roth.
- He died while cutting velvet on a hot July the fourth,
- But his cloth goes shining on!
Chorus:
- Harry, Harry Kakalegian
- Harry, Harry Kakalegian
- Harry, Harry Kakalegian
- His cloth keeps shining on!
- He died while [he was working] in the service of his
lord.
- He was trampling through the warehouse where the drapes
of Roth are stored.
- He got the finest funeral that the Union could afford.
- But his cloth goes shining on!
Well, Kakalegian perished as he stood by his machine.- And when the firemen broke in, well, they found him in
between
- A pile of roasted acorns and some french fried gaberdine.
- But his cloth goes shining on!
