I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell
They swung a beam and the sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled
And the men you'd hire if you had to build?"
He gave a laugh, saying, "No, indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year to do."
