American Old Time Song Lyrics: 27 It Aint Going To Happen In 90

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 27

It Ain't Going to Happen in '90.
By "Kilke"

In Boston eye-glasses will never be seen,
But it ain't going to happen in 90;
The streets of New York will be perfectly clean,
But it ain't going to happen in 90.
Chica groans about their enterprise, won't blow
Grand Army men won't be asking for a show.
Mayor Grant will appoint Republicans to all the offices you know,
But it ain't going to happen in 90.

On Broadway there will be no theatres or hotels.
But it ain't going to happen in 90
A hall-boy will be discovered who Will answer the bell,
But it ain't going to happen in 90.
McGinty will come up from the bottom of the sea
Near the place of his birth in the old country, .
Then he'll help Parnell to set old Ireland free.
But it ain't going to happen in 90.

All the death-dealing wires will be under ground,
But it ain't going to happen in '90:
A man who's ahead of the races will be found,
But it ain't going to happen in '90.
Draw poker will be an unknown game,
"Buck" Ewing to a National League contract will sign his name,
And .Johnnie Ward won't be looking for fame,
But it ain't going to happen in '90.

A dude may be unearthed who has an ounce of brain,
But it ain't going to happen in '90;
You'll always have your umbrella with you when it rains.
But it ain't going to happen in '90.
We shall never meet people to whom we are in debt.
There'll be no more chumps who on combinations bet.
And Patti on her farewell tour will sing "Sweet Violets'
But it ain't going to happen in '90.

Prohibitionists will elect their candidate to the Presidential chair,
But it ain't going to happen in "90;
Then the whole crowd of them will go on a razzle-dazzle tare,
But it ain't going to happen in '90.
No American girls their fortunes will throw away a title to procure.
Millionaires will go to work, and give their boodle to the poor.
And Congress will present Chicago with ten million dollars, sure,
But it ain't going to happen in '90.
