I remember singing , I must have been 7 or 8,

• Gentleman songsters off on a spree
  Damned from here to eternity
  God have mercy on such as we
  Baa! Baa! Baa!

when my mom said "Hanka, little fellow, looka at the rosters, year after year, the Whieenpoofs no let ina any I- talians!"

I turned crimson that day in more ways than one.
