//Ko-Ko: //\\
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 society 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 tête-á-têtes insist --\\
They'd none of 'em be missed -- they'd none of 'em be missed!\\
\\
//Chorus: //\\
He's got 'em on the list -- he's got 'em on the list;\\
And they'll none of 'em be missed -- they'll none of 'em be missed.\\
\\
//Ko-Ko: //\\
There's the banjo 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 dances, but would rather like to try";\\
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist --\\
I don't think she'd be missed -- I'm sure she'd not he missed!\\
\\
//Chorus: //\\
He's got her on the list -- he's got her on the list;\\
And I don't think she'll be missed -- I'm sure she'll not be missed!\\
\\
//Ko-Ko: //\\
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 a 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!\\
\\
//Chorus: //\\
You may put 'em on the list -- you may put 'em on the list;\\
And they'll none of 'em be missed -- they'll none of 'em be missed!\\
\\
