LACKAWANNA SPOONERS 
Here wi are two Lackawanna spooners; While Ye're here, keep your eyes upon us; We loaded coal from Harlem to Gowanus, We'n| the two selected spooners of the gang. When ire go home, our families we embrace; We eat our meals with elegance and grace; For opi osition shovellers we long to have a race; We are the two selected spooners of the gang. 
CHORUS. As through the streets we walked along like soldiers. And baskets and shovels we have on our shoulders-For to get a job there's none can be bolder Than the two selected spooners of the gang. 
Saturday nights we stand upon the corners, With the gang that wears the Roll of Honor; At Hibernian Hall we are going to raise a banner, To represent the Lackawauua gang. We all get shaved in the one barber shop, We use the same razor, lather brush and cup; For bay rum and tonic we long to have a sup, To stimulate the Lackawanna gang.-Chorus. 
We've acumulated wealth with hard work and endurance-With other scallawags we have no interference; We have been hard tried by work and perseverance-The two selected spooners of the gang. With the General Committee we are the two great big cards-Like " Muldoon. the Solid Man," we hold a grip in the ward; We could put you on the pipes or the City Boulevard, The two selected spooners of the gang.-Chorus.
