SONG OF THE BARK

By
Work, work, work!
And stand at the desk all day.
Work, work, work.
And bid an adieu to all play.
Work, and be constantly driven;
Wear the flesh from your bones and your face
The outsiders think banking is heaven,
But it's more like the opposite place.
Count, count, and writei
Count money all day long;
And on taking your balance at night
Have your cash come pOvOkingly wrong.
Then look till you're nervous and cross.
And hunt till you almost fear
You must charge it to profit and loss"
And at last find it on the Cashier.
Post, and compare, and post
Post. and compare, and check
And work till you are almost
OF your former selfa wreck,
Post, and check, and eomparei
Check, and compare, and foot,
Till you're driven almost to despair
By the work which upon you is put
Ledger, and Journal, and Cash,
And Blotter and Register too,
And the whole of that blue-edgei trash
Which it takes so long to write through;
wish they could all be turned back
To rags, real dirty and rank,
And be stuffed down the mouth of that jack
ASS who first invented a bankl
Sign, sign, signi
And in nervous agony writhe,
Till you're forced at length to resign
By that bony old chap with a scythe.
Would you be q good banker? then work,
And commit neither error nor fault:
Spend your days at a desk like a clerk,
And be lain after death in a vault.
Woik, work, work
And stand at the desk all day;
Work, work, work
And bid adieu to all play;
Work, and be constantly driven;
Wear the flesh from your bones and your face !
the outsiders think banking is heaven,
But it's more like the opposite place!
