...of civilization in our land. It was because I didn't want our boys to die drunkards that I fought and fight. I'm going to live long enough to see America so dry you have to prime a man before he can spit.
And I'll fight the saloon from Hawaii to Hoboken. And I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot. And I'll punch it as long as I have a fist.
I'll butt it as long as I have a head. I'll bite it as long as I have a tooth. And when I'm old and fistless and footless and toothless I'll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.
