See Saw Marjorie Daw
Today is your power-play day
You are on top and having fun
As you bully and crush and slay

Sadistic instincts have a ball
And power holds autocratic sway
As you deliriously hurt and decimate
The hapless in your way

The sun might shine for the underdog
When the tables turn some day
And when he acts like you, to you
To escape, there's no way

You too would get stomped & stamped
When its time for you to pay
How can you expect fair play later
If you wear hob nail boots today?

See Saw Marjorie Daw
Tomorrow won't be the same as today
So carefully watch your words and deeds
Even on your power-play day
