There Was A Young Man From Town

There was a young man from town
Who wore a perpetual frown.
He went out on the lash
And splashed lots of cash
But he never lost that frown.

(Note: to “go out on the lash” means to go out drinking, frequently with the intention of becoming intoxicated.

To “splash”, in this context means to spend).
