I'll sing you the saga of Alfred G. Packer
A loyal Republican fearless and true
There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale county
And Alfred G. Packer ate all but two
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
His tastes were ahead his time
There's nothing you'll eat quite like Democrat meat
Oh why should good taste be a crime a crime
Why should good taste be a crime
Six miners were lost in the Rockies one winter
Half frozen half crazy half starved and half dead
The only survivor was Alfred G Packer
But how come he looked so well fed
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
His tastes were ahead his time
A Democrat cake is so easy to bake
Oh why should good taste be a crime a crime
Why should good taste be a crime
Oh poor Alfred G Packer was
Caught and convicted
He butchered and ate his companions they said
With heart in his mouth he awaited a sentence
Alfred G Packer you’ll hang until dead
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
His tastes were ahead his time
A Democrat breast is the best in the West
Oh why should good taste be a crime a crime
Why should good taste be a crime
They purchased a rope and they sent invitations
But Alfred appealed and evaded the noose
The governor pardoned poor Alfred G Packer
And set him once more on the loose
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
His tastes were ahead his time
A Democrats heart is his tenderest part
Oh why should good taste be a crime a crime
Why should good taste be a crime
Though Alfred G Packers long dead and departed
I fear that his spirit is wandering still
If you didn't vote to keep President Reagan
I hope that you made out your will
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
His tastes were ahead his time
A Democrats spleen is the finest cuisine
Oh why should good taste be a crime a crime
Why should good taste be a crime
Come down to the Alfred G Packer Memorial
Lunchroom for meatloaf or stew
You'll eat even better than Alfred G Packer
We serve Republicans too
Give a cheer for Alfred G. Packer
We’re keeping his legend alive
There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale county
And Alfred G. Packer ate five ate five
Alfred G. Packer ate five
