  *++Lyrics:|\\
Augustus J. McCann,\\
Is a hen pecked married man,\\
He's been fighting with his wife\\
Since his married life began.\\
One morn at half past three,\\
While out upon a spree,\\
A Motor knocked him down and out\\
And it nearly broke his knee,\\
The Chauffeur raised Mac's head,\\
He said, "This man is dead!"\\
But when he said "We'll take him home."\\
McCann jumped up and said:\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Don't take me home,\\
Please don't take me home,\\
Tell me, "What did I do, to you?"\\
Oo oo oo oo have a little pity,\\
I'm a poor married man,\\
In search of peace I roam,\\
I'm with you in anything you do,\\
But don't take me home.\\
\\
McCann made such a fight\\
That they locked him up that night\\
Next day he got six months in jail\\
And he said "Now I'm in right."\\
In jail there was no strife,\\
He never saw his wife,\\
He said that he'd be happy if\\
He could stay there all his life,\\
But after half a year\\
They said "Get out of here."\\
The jailer said "We'll take you home."\\
But Mac yelled out in fear:\\
\\
McCann became so sore\\
That he ran off to the war\\
That war was like Vacation Time\\
After all he'd fought before.\\
He always led the fray\\
But he was shot one day;\\
His comrades saw he couldn't\\
Walk and they carried him away;\\
Up on his cot he fell,\\
The doctor said, "Well, well!\\
We'll send this man home to his wife."\\
Then Mac began to yell:\\
\\
