Lyrics
Chorus:
Be a Mason and take it by degrees
Be a Mason and you’ll be sure to please
A little bit now, a little bit then
When you want some more, come back again
Take your time and give her the sign
Join the order and get yourself a girl
Join the order, but don’t get in a whirl
When she goes on her vacation
You can take her application
Be a Mason and take it by degrees
Chorus:
Be a Mason and take it by degrees
Be a Mason and you’ll be sure to please
A little bit now, a little bit then
When you want some more, come back again
Take your time and give her the sign
Join the order and get yourself a girl
Join the order, but don’t get in a whirl
There’ll be other evenings later
But when you initiate her
Be a Mason and take it by degrees
