William Schwenck Gilbert - They`ll None of `Em Be Missed
Work rating: Low

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I`ve got a little list - I`ve got a little list
Of social offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed - who never would be missed!
There`s the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs -
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs -
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with `em flat -
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like THAT -
And all third persons who on spoiling TETE-E-TETES insist -
They`d none of `em be missed - they`d none of `em be missed!

There`s the nigger serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano organist - I`ve got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed - they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn`t think she waltzes, but would rather like to try";
And that FIN-DE-SIECLE anomaly, the scorching motorist -
I don`t think he`d be missed - I`m SURE he`d not be missed!

And that NISI PRIUS nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist - I`ve got HIM on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life -
They`d none of `em be missed - they`d none of `em be missed!
And apologetic statesmen of the compromising kind,
Such as - What-d`ye-call-him - Thing`em-Bob, and likewise - Never-
mind,
And `St - `st - `st - and What`s-his-name, and also - You-know-who-
(The task of filling up the blanks I`d rather leave to YOU!)
But it really doesn`t matter whom you put upon the list,
For they`d none of `em be missed - they`d none of `em be missed!
