[A]Please [E]give me your attention, I'll [A]introduce to [E]you
A man who is a credit to the [B]old Red White and Blue
His [E]head is made of lumber and [A]solid as a [E]rock
He is a common worker and his [B]name is Mr. Block
And [F#]Block he thinks he may be [Bm]president some [B]day

[CHORUS]
[E]Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake [E7]
[B]You take the cake, [B7]you make me ache
[Go] tie a [E]rock on your [E7]block and then [A]jump in the [A7]lake
Kindly [E]do that for [B7]Liberty's [E]sake!

[VERSE 2]
[A]Yes, [E]Mr. Block is lucky - he [A]got a job, by [E]gee!
The shark got seven dollars for [B]job and fare and fee
They [E]shipped him to a desert and [A]dumped him with his [E]truck
But when he tried to find his job he [B]sure was out of luck
He [F#]shouted, "That's too raw! I'll [Bm]fix them with the [B]law!"

[CHORUS]

[A]Block [E]hiked back to the city but [A]wasn't doing [E]well
He said "I'll join the union, the [B]great AF of L".
He [E]got a job that morning, got [A]fired by the [E]night
He said, "I'll see Sam Gompers and he'll [B]fix that foreman right!"
Sam [F#]Gompers said, "You see, you've [Bm]got our sympa-[B]thy."

[A]E-[E]lection day he shouted, "A [A]Socialist for [E]Mayor!"
The comrade got elected [and] he [B]happy was for fair
But [E]after the election he [A]got an awful [E]shock
[When] a great big socialistic bull did [B]rap him on the block
And [F#]Comrade Block did sob, "I [Bm]helped him get his [B]job!"

[A]The [E]money kings in Cuba blew [A]up the gunboat [E]Maine,
But Block got awful angry and [B]blamed it all on Spain.
He [E]went right in the battle and [A]there he lost his [E]leg,
And now he's peddling shoestrings and is [B]walking on a peg.
He [F#]shouts, "Remember Maine, [Bm]Hurrah! To hell with [E]Spain!"

[VERSE 6]
[A]Poor [E]Block he died one evening, I'm [A]very glad to [E]state
He climbed the golden ladder up [B]to the pearly gate
He [E]said, "Oh Mister Peter, one [A]thing I'd like to [E]tell
I'd like to meet the Astorbilts and [B]John D Rockerfell!"
Old [F#]Pete said, "Is that so? You'll [Bm]meet them down be-[B]low!"
