Harold: Well, either you're closing your eyes To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster Indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community. Well, ya got trouble, my friend. Right here, I say, trouble right here in River City. Why, sure, I'm a billiard player, Certainly mighty proud to say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend With a cue in my hand are golden. Help you cultivate horse sense And a cool head and a keen eye. J'ever take and try to give An iron-clad leave to yourself From a three-rail billiard shot? But just as I say it takes judgment, brains, and maturity To score in a balkline game I say that any boob Can take and shove a ball in a pocket. And I call that sloth. The first big step on the road To the depths of degrada-- I say, first medicinal wine from a teaspoon, Then beer from a bottle! And the next thing ya know Your son is playin' for money in a pinch back suit. And listenin' to some big outta town jasper Hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin'. Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, But a race where they set down right on the horse! Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy Settin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say. Now, friends, lemme tell you what I mean. Ya got one, two, three, four, five, six Pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the difference Between a gentlemen and a bum. With a capital "B," And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool! And all week long Your River City youth'll be fritterin' away, I say your young men'll be fritterin'. Fritterin' away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too. Get the ball in the pocket, Never mind gettin' dandelions pulled Or the screen door patched, or the beefsteak pounded. Never mind pumpin' any water 'Til your parents are caught With the cistern empty On a Saturday night And that's trouble. Yes, you got lots and lots of trouble. I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers, Shirt-tail young ones, Peekin' in the pool hall window after school, Ya got trouble! Folks! Right here in River City! Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "P" And that stands for pool. Now, I know all you folks are the right kind of parents. I'm gonna be perfectly frank. Would ya like to know What kinda conversation goes on While they're loafin' around that Hall? They'll be tryin' out Bevo, Tryin' out cubebs, Tryin' out tailor mades like cigarette fiends! And braggin' all about How they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen. One fine night They leave the pool hall, Headin' for the dance at the Arm'ry. Libertine men and Scarlet women. And Rag-time, shameless music That'll grab your son, Your daughter With the arms of a jungle animal instinct. Mass-steria! Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground! Trouble! People: Oh, we got trouble Harold: Right here in River City! People: Right here in River City Harold: With a capital "T" And that rhymes with "P" And that stands for Pool. People: That stands for pool
