“get the beatin’ stick out of the closet and start a-whoopin’ and a-whalin’ on the little woman.”
Not to be picky...well just a little...the word is “waling” without an h. Yes, “whale” is such a common error, it’s considered acceptable now, like many another error, when diversity and inclusion reign, and Noah Webster’s just another dead white guy.
And also something that brought out the “picky” in me: he should have written “fall prey to”, not “fall pray to”.
