| I do have a cause though. it is obscenity. i'm for it. unfortunately the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it owing to the nature of the laws as a matter of freedom | |
| Peech and stifling of free expression and so on but we no what's really involved：dirty books are fun. that's all there is to it. but you can't get up in a court and say that i suppose. it's sim | |
| Matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the constitution unfortunately. anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days i have here a march for mi | |
| T's called... | |
| Smut! | |
| Give me smut and nothing but! | |
| A dirty novel i can't shut, | |
| If it's uncut, | |
| And unsubt- le. | |
| I've never quibbled | |
| If it was ribald, | |
| I would devour where others merely nibbled. | |
| As the judge remarked the day that he | |
| Acquitted my aunt hortense, | |
| "to be smut | |
| It must be ut- | |
| Terly without redeeming social importance." | |
| Por- | |
| Nographic pictures i adore. | |
| Indecent magazines galore, | |
| I like them more | |
| If they're hard core. | |
| (bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, | |
| Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything! | |
| More, more, i'm still not satisfied!) | |
| Stories of tortures | |
| Used by debauchers, | |
| Lurid, licentious, and vile, | |
| Make me smile. | |
| Novels that pander | |
| To my taste for candor | |
| Give me a pleasure sublime. | |
| (let's face it, i love slime.) | |
| All books can be indecent books | |
| Though recent books are bolder, | |
| For filth (i'm glad to say) is in | |
| The mind of the beholder. | |
| When correctly viewed, | |
| Everything is lewd. | |
| (i could tell you things about peter pan, | |
| And the wizard of oz, there's a dirty old man!) | |
| I thrill | |
| To any book like fanny hill, | |
| And i suppose i always will, | |
| If it is swill | |
| And really fil | |
| Thy. | |
| Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately? | |
| But now they're trying to take it all | |
| Away from us unless | |
| We take a stand, and hand in hand | |
| We fight for freedom of the press. | |
| In other words, | |
| Smut! (i love it) | |
| Ah, the adventures of a slut. | |
| Oh, i'm a market they can't glut, | |
| I don't know what | |
| Compares with smut. | |
| Hip hip hooray! | |
| Let's hear it for the supreme court! | |
| Don't let them take it away! |
